So Liu Yu used another clever plan, what plan? It is

"Empty City Plan" He ordered the army in the city to lower their flags one night, hide them, and make a gesture that they had retreated.

The next morning, the city gate was opened, and a few ineffective old and weak soldiers were allowed to climb the tower to defend it. Sun En's subordinates were amazed when they saw the changes on the city tower, so they asked from afar, "Where is Liu Yu?" The soldiers at the head of the city replied as they had been instructed beforehand: "I have already led my troops to run away overnight." Sun En's subordinates were overjoyed when they heard it, this nemesis can be regarded as running, and they didn't think about it for a while, so they entered the city, and as soon as they entered, Liu Yu took the lead in leading the ambush to kill, the thieves were caught off guard, and they were killed and fled, after this battle, Sun En completely lost the confidence to defeat Liu Yu, so he led the army to Shanghai to desecrate the base, today the west of the old Qingpu town in Shanghai, the Song Dynasty has sunk into the river.

Liu Yu abandoned the city to pursue, and at this time, a person who didn't know what to do came out, he was the county commander of Haiyan, Bao Xu-_-|||, the name.

。。 This guy didn't know how many bowls of dry rice he ate, and when he saw that Liu Yu had won the battle, he thought that Sun En was nothing more than that, so he insisted that his son Bao Sizhi lead a thousand soldiers as a pioneer to pursue Sun En, Liu Yu advised: "The thieves are very good, and the Wu people (people from Wu Land, referring to the locals) do not practice war." If the front fails, our army will be defeated, but you can support it later. Bao Shou couldn't listen, insisted on letting his son go, this night, Liu Yu set up an ambush in advance, set up a lot of banners, but only a few people, the next day Sun En saw that the pursuers arrived, he led 10,000 people to fight, the front drive just clashed, Liu Yu's ambush soldiers came out, waving flags and drums, Sun En's troops thought that there were ambushes on all sides, so they retreated, Bao Heizhi didn't know what to do, so he went to pursue, Sun En looked: "Ya, Lao Tzu can't beat Liu Yu and can't beat you?!" So he led the army to kill for a while, and Bao Sizhi became

"Violent death", his 1,000 people are also finished. Liu Yu, who arrived later, was also surrounded, at this time Sun En already knew that Liu Yu was not many, so he surrounded Liu Yu, Liu Yu fought and retreated, the troops were killed and wounded, Liu Yu also felt that he might be killed in battle, retreated to the ambush place, Liu Yu saw that the ground was full of dead soldiers' corpses, and suddenly had a plan, he asked the soldiers to stop retreating, take off the clothes of the dead soldiers, the enemy looked, very surprised, thought that there were ambushes, Liu Yu took the opportunity to shout to kill the thief soldiers, so Sun En's troops thought that Liu Yu was ambushed again, and hurriedly retreated, so Liu Yu slowly returned to the city, recruited defeated soldiers, and gathered a little more.

"Book of Song, Volume 1, Benji I, Emperor Wu I" is recorded as follows: "Gaozu fought and retreated, the thief was prosperous, and the casualties he received were exhausted.

Gao Zu was unavoidable, and when he went to the ambush place, he stopped, and ordered the left and right to take off the clothes of the dead. The thief said that he should go and stop, and he was still suspicious.

Gaozu was very fierce because of the call for more war, and the thieves thought so, so they led the army away. Gaozu Xu returned, and then the stragglers gathered a little.

Gaozu is Liu Yu's temple number. Zhuge Liang's empty city plan is fictional, Liu Yu's version

The "empty city plan" is genuine, and it can be seen from here that Liu Yu already has the quality of a famous general, not only good at winning battles, but also good at defeating battles!

You may wonder how you can win a battle and be good at it. In fact, defeat is not terrible, what is terrible is the rout, a defeat will be all scattered out of control, many fiascos are caused by the collapse after the defeat, Liu Yu can be defeated without chaos, and re-recruit people, which is very rare.

Sun En failed to defeat Liu Yu, but finally broke through the Shanghai fortress in May, and in the same month Liu Yu defeated the thieves in Lou County, now northeast of Kunshan, Jiangsu.

Large warships of the Han Dynasty

The "building boat" is more than ten zhang high. At that time, one foot was 23 centimeters, one zhang was 230 centimeters, and more than ten feet were close to 30 meters, which was higher than the average five-story building.

During the Three Kingdoms, Soochow built a five-story warship that could carry 3,000 soldiers. The building ship not only has a majestic appearance, but also a spear on the ship, a tree flag, a strict guard, and a strong attack and defense, just like a water fortress.

Marched to Dantu, today Zhenjiang Dantu District, Jiangsu, Liu Yu is also a native of Zhenjiang, so it is also his hometown, at this time Liu Jiaozhi's garrison was in Shanyin (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang), too late to reinforce, so he ordered Liu Yu to go from Haiyan Beidao (concurrently; refers to a two-day journey) to move forward and block Sun En.

At that time, Liu Yu's troops were only about 1,000 people, and they were running for a long time, and the defenders of Dantu had no fighting spirit, and Sun En's men and horses had more than 100,000 people, but Liu Yu was not afraid and still attacked Sun En!

Sun En's men and horses have just climbed the Garlic Mountain, a hill in the west of the Yangtze River Road in Zhenjiang today, condescending, occupying a favorable terrain, thinking that it is easy to attack Dantu, but I didn't expect to meet Liu Yu's attack immediately, fell under the mountain rock, there are many in the water, and there were heavy casualties for a while, Sun En fled back to the building boat in embarrassment, although he was defeated again, but his strength was still quite strong, so he took the building boat to Jiankang, because the headwind was unfavorable, and I heard that Liu Gaozhi had returned to the division, knowing that the Eastern Jin Dynasty had a defense, So the army to the north occupied Yuzhou, now Lianyungang City, near the north Yuntai Mountain, in August of this year, the Eastern Jin Dynasty named Liu Yu as the general of Jianwu, Wupin, Xia Pi pī Taishou, let him attack Yuzhou.

Liu Yu is really Sun En's nemesis, in Yuzhou to break Sun En, Sun En led the remnants of the army to flee south to Ludu, in November, Liu Yu pursued to Luduba, Sun En fled to Haiyan, (Sun En: I escape, I escape, I escape!)

Liu Yu: If you can escape, I will destroy you! After three major battles, Liu Yu won a complete victory, captured more than 10,000 people, at this time Sun En was also unlucky, encountered the plague, and the remaining remnants of the defeated generals died a lot, so they fled to Linhai from Hujiākou, today's Ningbo Zhenhaikou, and since then they have been in a slump, and later committed suicide by throwing themselves into the water,

"Dengxian" went, and his remnants elected his brother-in-law Lu Xun as the leader, which later caused Liu Yu a lot of trouble, which is a later story.

This is just the beginning for Liu Yu, a military coup d'état, making this military general the first protagonist of history.

This also starts with Huan Xuan's usurpation, Huan Xuan's word respectfully, nicknamed Lingbao, the youngest son of Sima Huan Wen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

He was deeply loved by Huan Wen since he was a child, so much so that when Huan Wen was dying, he reversed the convention of eldest son succession and ordered Huan Xuan, who was only four years old at the time, as the heir and took the title of Duke of Nanjun.

When Huan Xuan was seven years old, the three-year mourning period expired, and the civil and military officials under Huan Wen came to say goodbye to Huan Xuan's uncle, Jingzhou Assassin Shi Huan Chong.

Huan Chong stroked Huan Xuan's head and told him: "These people are all the former officials of your family!" Huan Xuan cried bitterly in response, mourning left and right, and everyone was surprised.

A few years later, Huan Xuan was extraordinary, dignified, personable, knowledgeable, and able to write good articles.

He prides himself on his noble family and outstanding talents, and often regards himself as a hero, which is daunting, and the court also has doubts and does not use it.

It wasn't until he was 23 years old that he was worshiped as the prince and washed horses. At the time, people talked about Huan Wen's traces of disobedience in his later years, and the Huan Xuan brothers were ostracized because of this, and the court only let them be idle officials with no power.

Once, Huan Xuan went to meet Sima Daozi, the evil king of Lang, and it was a banquet with full guests. Sima Daozi was drunk, and suddenly asked everyone: "Does Huan Wen want to rebel in his later years?" Huan Xuan was so frightened that he fell to the ground and didn't dare to get up.

Shi Xie, the hussar commander of the evil king of Lang, raised his handboard and replied: "The late Xuanwu Gong (Huan Wen) abolished the faint and established the Ming Dynasty, and the merits of Yi Yin and Huo Guang should be recognized. Daozi nodded, and Huan Xuan got up.

From then on, Huan Xuan's heart became even more uneasy, and he held a grudge against Sima Daozi. Later, he served as Yixing Taishou, he disdained to do such a petty official, so he resigned and returned to Jiangling, which is now Jingzhou City, where is the old territory of the Huan family, so he developed his own power in Jiangling, and successively eliminated the hostile forces such as Jingzhou Thorn Shi Yin Zhongkan, Yongzhou Thorn Shi Yang Yan Period, and dominated Jingzhou.

After Sun En retired from the army, he wrote a letter to Sima Daozi, and severely rebuked Sima Daozi and his son Sima Yuanxian, the father and son were very afraid, Sima Yuanxian had a strategist named Zhang Fashun, and persuaded him to strike first, with Liu Gaozhi's Beifu soldiers as the vanguard, send troops to fight, and he will be able to get Huan Xuan.

Sima Yuanxian hesitated, and it happened that Huan Xuan's subordinate, Wuchang Taishou Yu Kai, sent a big gift, and took the initiative to ask Ying to be an internal response and cooperate with the imperial army to attack Huan Xuan.

Sima Yuanxian was overjoyed, so in the first month of the first year of Emperor Yuanxing of Jin An (402 AD), he called the edict to list Huan Xuan's crimes, and launched a large-scale crusade by land and water.

As a result, because Huan Xuan's cousin Huan Shi informed, Huan Xuan was prepared, (originally Sima Yuanxian planned to get rid of the Huan family's children, but because of his subordinate Wang Dan's intercession, he did not start, and finally laid the root of his own defeat later, so he must not be merciful in the political and military struggle, otherwise he will find his own death) Huan Xuan saw that the imperial court sent a heavy army to crusade, and his heart was a little bottomless, so he planned to stick to Jiangling and Xu Tu countermeasures, so can he resist the conquest of the imperial court?

How will Sima Yuanxian deal with him?

In February 403, in order to increase his prestige, Huan Xuan asked the above table to lead the army to sweep the river and Luo (Henan, Luoyang, here refers to the Central Plains) and then instructed the imperial court to issue an edict to stop it, so he said

"Obey the edict and stop it". In September, the court worshiped himself as the king of Chu, and sealed the ten counties (set aside ten counties as their own feudal state) plus Xiangguo, plus nine tin (nine kinds of ritual vessels, which were given by the ancient monarchs to ministers and princes, one is called a chariot and a horse, referring to the horizontal wood used to pull the chariot on the golden chariot chariot, and the military chariot Rong chariot, the golden chariot, should refer to the bronze car, the birds and beasts of the Xuanmu mǔ gong, two donkeys, one donkey is four, the horse is difficult to chase is this donkey, Xuan, is black, that is, the black horse eight horses, two clothes, referring to the gǔn embroidered dragon dress, the crown of the dress, In addition to the matching red (xì shoes) a pair, three said music rules, designated sound, proofreading sound of the instrument, four said Zhu Hu, refers to the red lacquer gate, five said Na Majesty, there are two theories, one is the special chisel of the majesty level when ascending the palace, so that the ascender does not show up, just like the VIP special channel.

The second is a wooden staircase with a lower staircase, so that the steps are not too steep, six tiger ben (bēn) warriors, guards, a number of tiger guards guarding the door, seven bow arrows, tong, a red bow, arrow, that is, arrows, a hundred branches, a thousand arrows, a black bow, a thousand arrows, eight axes, Yue is a big axe, nine said 秬 jù鬯chàng refers to the fragrant wine used for sacrifices, with the rare black millet shǔ is made of millet and tulip grass) Chu State placed the official subordinates below the prime minister, etc., he asked to return to the feudal town, Then he made an edict to keep it, and then asked for it, forcing the emperor to make an edict to stay (in fact, the emperor at that time, Emperor Sima Dezong of Jin An was a super idiot, to the extent that he didn't know how to say it in the cold and summer, and he couldn't say it-_-|||, that Emperor Sima Zhen of Jin Hui compared to him, he was really a little white and saw the big white, but I really wanted to know what the edict written by such an idiot would look like ^_^) Huan Xuan also secretly instructed people to offer the so-called auspicious rui, he was greedy and insatiable by nature, loved rare treasures, and never left his hand all day long, others have good calligraphy and paintings and beautiful houses, They all tried every possible way to keep it for themselves, and they were embarrassed to rob it in person, so they used gambling as a means to seize it in a different way.

I like flattery, and I hate the outspokenness of my subordinates. . . What is ridiculous is that he thought that when the dynasty was changed in the past, there were hermits in the world, and it was very faceless to have no hermits now, so he sent someone to find Huangfu Xizhi, a descendant of the hermit emperor Fu Mi mì of the previous dynasty, and allocated funds to let him go to the mountains to live in seclusion; And then enlist him as a writer, let him

"Stubbornness"; In the end, he was edicted to do it

"Coats" is speechless to this guy... Just when Huan Xuan was proud, a series of blows followed: first, his brother Jingzhou Thorn Shi Huanwei, who he regarded as his right-hand man, suddenly died of illness; Then Yin Zhongkan's remnants of the party and the new savage Yu yǔ仄zè gathered 7,000 people, raised troops in Xiangyang, and drove away the guard Feng Cai; Nanban Captain Yu Bin and others conspired to respond, and Jiangling was shaken; Huan Xuan's nephew Huan Liang also took advantage of the chaos to raise troops in Luo County in the name of crusading against Yu Xuan, claiming to be the general of Pingnan and the assassin of Xiangzhou.

However, does he support the attitude of the generals of the Beifu Army, especially Liu Yu? He has no bottom in his heart, Liu Yu at this time has become the leader of the Beifu soldiers after Liu Gaozhi, and his attitude is very important!

So he sent his cousin Huan Qian to Pengcheng to ask Liu Yu: "The king of Chu is highly respected, and the imperial court means to be Zen, what do you think?" Liu Yu had already seen that Huan Xuan was not a person who had achieved great things, so he wanted to kill him, in order to paralyze Huan Xuan, he replied: "The King of Chu is the son of Xuanwu (Huan Wen's nickname), Xun De is the world, the Jin royal family is in decline, and he has lost his popularity early, so he took the opportunity to Chan Dynasty, what can't he do!" Huan Qian was overjoyed and said, "You can say yes, it's really okay!" "The King of Chu is solemn and reverent.

The feelings of the imperial court, it is said that it is advisable to make concessions, why do you want to do so? Since Gaozu wanted to seek Xuan, Naixun replied: "King of Chu, the son of Xuanwu, Xunde is the world." The Jin room is weak, the people's prestige has moved for a long time, and the Zen Dynasty is lucky, why not! Qian Xi said: "Qing is Kerr, and the bento is really Kerr." "Then why did Liu Yu get to Pengcheng again?

What was he doing all this time? As mentioned earlier, after Sun En hung up, his brother-in-law Lu Xun was elected as the leader, and Huan Xuan wanted to appease him and seek tranquility, so he named him Yongjia Taishou, but although Lu Xun became an official, he still did not change his style of rogue, and his atrocities were still the same.

So Huan Xuan sent Liu Yu to crusade against him, Lu Xun, like Sun En, was the master who saw Liu Yu's defeat, and after several defeats, he had to flee south back to the island.

Huan Xuan received the support of Liu Yu and proclaimed himself emperor in December 403

"Chu" moved Emperor Sima Dezong of Jin An to Xunyang (now southwest of Jiujiang, Jiangxi) and crowned the king of Pinggu, and posthumously honored his father Huan Wen as Emperor Xuanwu, and the temple name was Taizu; He made his wife Liu the queen, and the brothers and nephews of the Dafeng Huan family were the kings, and the civil and military officials were knighted.

In order to show off his cleverness, hundreds of officials performed things or a word that did not fit, or there were some faults in the sentences, they had to pick out and criticize them, and even demote the officials, and they must bow down to each other, or personally arrange the officials on duty, or choose the petty officials such as Lingshi, and the edicts are one after another, and the officials in charge are overwhelmed.

However, the government did not grasp the major affairs, the law was not established, and the cases were piled up. He also likes to hunt, often day and night, and has an impatient temperament, and calls everyone very strictly, urgently, and the palace is full of noise and unorthodox.

The people are tired, and the government and the opposition are angry and want to rebel. At that time, his cousin Huan Xiu went to see him, Liu Yu also arrived, Huan Xuan treated him favorably in order to envelop Liu Yu, and he said to Situ Wang Mi mì: "I saw Liu Yu yesterday, his demeanor (demeanor, temperament) is not ordinary!" What a man! Someone said to him: "Liu Yu has the momentum of a dragon and tiger when he walks, and his demeanor is extraordinary!" I'm afraid it's not a person who has been under people for a long time, and I should have found a way to get rid of him early."

"Liu Zhenlong walks in a tiger step, looks extraordinary, I am afraid that he will not be subordinate, and he should be a flea."

However, Lu Xun was cheap and obedient, and sent someone to give Liu Yu a big basket of "puzzle dumplings" (you are the "lack of heart" in Cai Ming's sketch to eat this to supplement the brain!) Liu Yu was born in the market, of course he understood the meaning, so he gave Lu Xun a large jar of "life-sustaining soup" Chinese medicine (and, Liu Ye even left you a life first, let your kid live for a few more years, and when he is free, he will definitely abolish you!). ）

In the same month, Liu Yu went out of the town Dantu, which was safe, because it was convenient to stay in his base camp, and it was very convenient to plan anything on his own territory, and he was not afraid of leaking secrets, killing two birds with one stone.

At this time, Liu Yu's wire Liu Jingxuan heard that Huan Xuan was hanging, and he also returned to the Eastern Jin Dynasty from Nanyan, and Liu Yu got another general.

In view of the chaotic situation in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Liu Yu used his power to rectify it, and at the same time set an example by himself, which greatly changed the political situation of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in a short period of time.

Liu Yu also achieved an unprecedented victory in diplomacy. He sent envoys to Later Qin to make overtures to Yao Xing on an equal footing, and demanded that the counties of Nanxiang (Nannan, Xixiang County, Shaanxi), which had been restored to the territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Yao Xing was born in Confucianism, and unexpectedly agreed to return a large piece of land.

The internal affairs are stable, it is time to use troops abroad, at that time, the division of Sichuan, and Lu Xun and his close contact, Huan Xuan's cousin Huan Qian also went to the comb after the defeat of the army, which posed a threat to Liu Yu, for this reason, in the second year of Yixi, in 406 Liu Yu sent Sima Rong to lead the army to crusade against the Zong, the war of Shu is the prelude to Liu Jingxuan's invasion of Shu in the next two years, Ma Rong's first battle to attack the White Emperor, break through the Ming Dynasty, and occupy the White Emperor City. Immediately afterwards, Liu Yu took the army of Mao Xiuzhi, the general of Long Xiangxiāng, as reinforcements. Mao Xiu's trip to the ditch, Sima Rong was killed by Yang Chengzu, who joined the army. Xiu Zhi then retreated to Emperor Bai, and joined forces with Feng Qian, the Taishou of Hanjia (now east of Pengshui County, Sichuan), to kill Yang Chengzu, and prepared to continue the discussion. However, the successor of Yizhou Thorn Shi Bao was stranded in the White Emperor. So Mao Xiu went to the court and advocated the crusade. Mao Xiu's grandfather Mao Husheng, uncle Mao Xuan, Mao Jun once served as the Yizhou Thorn History, and his father Mao Jin was the Liangzhou Thorn History, the Mao family had been operating in the Yi and Liang areas for a long time, and after the indulgence rebellion, Xuan and Jin were all victimized by the connivance, so Mao Xiuzhi advocated crusade and had the motive of revenge for personal revenge.

After Mao Xiu made the table, Liu Yu considered that if he let Chen Zong, Lu Xun, Huan Qian and others unite, it would be a very big threat to him, and second, he also took into account Mao Xiuzhi's pity, so he sent Liu Jingxuan to lead 5,000 people to attack Shu, with Liu Daogui as the governor of Shu.

Liu Jingxuan lived up to Liu Yu's expectations, took the lead, fought for thousands of miles, and fought until the auxiliary general Chen Daofu, who was 500 miles away from Chengdu (now on the bank of the Fujiang River in the southeast of Mianyang, Sichuan), insisted on not fighting, and held Liu Jingxuan for two months, just at this time Liu Jingxuan's troops began to epidemic with plague again, and Liu Jingxuan had no choice but to retreat.

After Liu Jingxuan's defeat, Liu Yi advocated treating him for serious crimes, when Liu Yi was a teenager, he gave Liu Jingxuan to join the army, at that time many people thought that Liu Yi was a heroic figure, but Liu Jingxuan was very disapproving, Liu Yi was deeply resentful, plus Liu Jingxuan was Liu Yu's capable general, in order to fight Liu Yu (he was very knowledgeable, well-versed in book history, thought he was no worse than Liu Yu, and wanted to compete with him) So he insisted on re-running Liu Jingxuan, but under the protection of Liu Yu and He Wuji, in the end Liu Jingxuan was only dismissed, and the fief was reduced by one-third.

In December of the third year of Yixi, Situ Wang Mi died, and Liu Yu was supposed to become an auxiliary minister, that is, the actual prime minister, but Liu Yi did not want Liu Yu to enter the central government (Baidu Erbi) government, and planned to let the central leader, (this was said when talking about Zhao Yun) Xie Chao served as the assassin of Yangzhou, and some people planned to let Liu Yu be in charge of Yangzhou in Dantu, and hand over the government affairs of the court to Meng Chang to manage. The imperial court specially sent Shangshu Youcheng Pi Shen to take these two plans and go to ask Liu Yu's opinion. Pi Shen first met with Liu Muzhi and told him all the discussions in the imperial court. Liu Muzhi pretended to go to the toilet and secretly wrote a note to Liu Yu: "Don't agree with what Pi Shen said." After Liu Yu summoned Pi Shen, he temporarily let him out first, and then called Liu Muzhi in to inquire. Liu Muzhi said: "The Jin Dynasty has lost control of the government, it has been a long time, and now the fortune of heaven has been transferred, and you have revived the royal cause, and the merits are so high that they are with the eternals. With your current situation, how can you always be humble to weaken yourself and become a general of a feudal town? Liu, Meng Zhugong, and Gong You are all from the cloth clothes (common people) to raise troops together, in order to support the monarch, in order to get rich and noble, because you were the first to revolt, so they elected you as the leader of the alliance, not really convinced you, but for a while because of the situation, set the current status, and when they and you are evenly matched, they will definitely want to annex you, Yangzhou is the fundamental, last time it was handed over to Wang Mi, it was a temporary expedient measure, not always like this! Now, if you give it to someone else, you should be subject to others, and once you lose your authority, it will be impossible to think about it again. And the merit of the Duke is very high, it can't be just like that, then the court is afraid of you, and the danger in the future is really unimaginable! Now that the court is deliberating like this, you should make your attitude clear and give an answer. But it would be difficult to say that I am the only one who is suitable, so I can only say: 'The central region is the foundation of the country, and the position of the prime minister who assists the king is very important. Since the selection of such an official is so important, it is absolutely not permissible to make a few empty remarks in the field, and I intend to take the time to go to Kyoto in the near future to have a full exchange of views with you. When you arrive in the capital, they will not dare to pass you and give this official position to anyone else. So Liu Yu did so, and sure enough, the imperial court recruited Liu Yu to serve as a servant and a general of the Che Cavalry (Erpin, second to the general, the general of the Huss Piào Cavalry, and the opening of the palace with the three divisions is an honorary title, referring to the opening of the mansion and the establishment of their own shogunate, and the etiquette is the same as the three divisions, Sikong, Sima, and Situ) that is, the Yangzhou Assassin History, Lu Shang Shushi, and his original position as the Xu and Yan Erzhou Assassin History is still concurrent.

In this battle, the Jin army beheaded more than ten people including Duan Hui, the general of Nanyan, and more than 1,000 other soldiers, Murong Chao was frightened!

Liu Yu took advantage of the victory to capture the outer city of Guanggu, and Murong Chao could only retreat to the inner city. So the Jin army built its fortifications around the entire city, and built a three-layer trench inside and outside, the high ditch is three feet high, and it can be said that even the birds can't fly out!

Liu Yu sent someone to inform the Eastern Jin Dynasty to stop transporting grain and grass and to take food in Nanyan nearby. In July, Murong Chao's generals Yuan Zun and Yuan Zun's younger brother Yuan Miao led the crowd to surrender, and Liu Yu prepared the equipment for attacking the city, and the people in the city saw it and said: "If you can't get Zhang Gang, what can you do?" "Zhang Gang is Murong Chao's minister, is an inventor, just at this time Murong Chao sent him to Hou Qin Yao Xing to call the vassal, ask for assistance, although Yao Xing agreed, but he was afraid of Liu Yu, did not send troops, Zhang Gang came back from Chang'an, was Taishan County (now northeast of Tai'an, Shandong) Taishou caught, given to Liu Yu, this time, this engineer came in handy, Liu Yu immediately asked him to build siege equipment, Murong Chao could not ask for help, but lost Zhang Gang, he was very worried, he wrote to Liu Yu, asking to the Eastern Jin Dynasty to claim the domain, Cutting all the land south of Daxian Pass to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Liu Yu wanted to destroy Nanyan at this time, so he naturally would not agree.

At this time, Yao Xing sent an envoy to see Liu Yu and threatened: "Murong Chao is our friendly neighbor, he came to tell the emergency, now we send 100,000 iron horsemen to gather in Luoyang, if you don't retreat, we will send troops." Liu Yu replied: "Tell Yao Xing, after I pacify Nanyan, I will take a three-year break, and then go to clean up Guanzhong and Luoyang, and now you will send it to the door yourself, so come quickly!" Liu Muzhi was also in the army at that time, and when he heard about this, he hurriedly came to see Liu Yu and said: "Usually no matter how big or small, you must discuss it with me, this matter should be discussed carefully, why did you answer it in such a hurry?" Gong replied to Yao Xing's words, it can't deter the enemy, it can provoke the enemy, what if Nanyan doesn't capture it in time, and Hou Qin's rescue troops arrive again? Liu Yu replied: "This is a military machine, not what you know, so I won't tell you, the soldiers are fast, if they really send someone here, they should be afraid that I know, but now they are sending a messenger to inform them, this is just a bluff" Sure enough, it is the Heavenly Death Nanyan.

Yao Xing was indeed not just bluffing, he really sent the general Yao Qiang to Luoyang with 10,000 elite cavalry, ready to join forces with the local Yao Shao, and come to Guanggu to rescue Murong Chao.

Unfortunately, Helian Bobo defeated the Qin soldiers, and Yao Xing was too busy to take care of himself, and was busy chasing Yao Qiang's elite soldiers back to defend Chang'an.

Seeing this, Han Fan sighed: "It's really the Heavenly Death Yan Kingdom!" "Just in time, Liu Yumi's envoy arrived, and after thinking about it, Han Fan returned to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Liu Yu sent someone to pull him around the city with a car, and the people in the city were completely dumbfounded when they saw it.

In this way, Liu Yu was besieged until February 410, before he began to attack the city, and soon broke through, Murong Chao led dozens of horsemen to escape, and was captured by the Jin army, Liu Yu counted the crimes he did not surrender, Murong Chao did not speak, but entrusted his mother to Liu Jingxuan, when he was in Houqin with Liu Jingxuan, he had a friendship, and then Liu Yu sent him to Jiankang to be beheaded.

Liu Yu hated Guanggu for a long time, and wanted to kill all the people in the city, Han Fan persuaded: "The royal family of the Jin Dynasty moved south, and the Central Plains was like boiling in Dingli, and the common people had no assistance, so they could only rely on whoever was strong, since they were the subjects of Nanyan, they must do their best, they were all the remnants of the original Han people, the first emperor, and now the king is to hang the people and kill the crime, (condolences to the common people, crusade against the guilty) If they are all killed, how can they be attached?" I'm afraid that the people in the northwest don't want to come" So Liu Yu changed his appearance and thanked him, pardoned the people, but killed more than 3,000 people in the princes, ministers, clans, etc., and the Murong family estimated that there was no one left, so it was cruel, but this was necessary!

Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, when Fu Jian did not kill any of the nobles of the dead country, after the battle of Weishui, these people all rose up to rebel one by one, and a huge empire quickly collapsed, if Liu Yu also spared them, maybe they would rise up and rebel at any time.

At this time, something happened to Liu Yu's rear, it turned out that Xu Daofu got the news of Liu Yu's Northern Expedition, so he wrote a letter to persuade Lu Xun to take advantage of the situation and attack Jiankang. It is generally distributed in the eastern part of Guangxi to the eastern part of Guangdong and the junction of Hunan and Jiangxi provinces, which refers to the Guangdong region) here, which is not a correct reason! It is precisely because Liu Gong is too powerful that it is difficult for us to be enemies with him, now he is fighting a tough battle, and I don't know when he will come back, and now our soldiers want to return to their hometowns, and it is easy to attack He Wuji and Liu Yi with soldiers who think like this. If you don't take this opportunity and only care about ensuring the safety of one day, if you wait for Liu Pingping to settle on Qi (Nanyan belongs to the Qi State of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period) for a little rest, you will definitely be ordered to conquer you, if Liu Gong personally leads the army to Yuzhang (Nanchang) to send elite troops across Lingnan, even if the general is wise and martial, I am afraid that you will definitely not be able to defeat it! Today's opportunity, must not be lost, once the capital is conquered, his base will be gone, when Liu Gong returns, there is nothing to be done" Lu Xun listened, suddenly realized, immediately took action, in the same month, Xu Daofu attacked Nankang (Nankang City, Jiangxi) Luling (Ji'an City, Jiangxi) Yuzhang, several counties of the Taishou capital fled, Lu Xun led the army to cross the five mountains, through Changsha, Baling (now Yueyang, Hunan) pointed to Jiangling, defeated Liu Daogui.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty court hurriedly recruited Liu Yu to return to the division, at this time Xu Daofu's army had already driven to the vicinity of Yuzhang, He Wuji was stationed in Xunyang (Jiujiang, Jiangxi) at this time and was in a hurry to go out to war, because the ship was small and invincible to Xu Daofu's big ship, and encountered the west wind, the boat was blown to the vicinity of Xu Daofu's big ship, the Jin army quickly dispersed, He Wuji died on the spot.

He Wuji died very bravely, "Jin Shu He Wuji Biography": "Wuji Shang said sharply: 'Take me Su Wu Festival!'" (A kind of scepter, the earliest was held by Su Wu in the Han Dynasty) festival to, is to bow to supervise the war. There were many thieves, and dozens of people boarded the ship. Wuji's words were unrelenting (bending, referring to the fact that after the enemy boarded the ship, He Wuji did not give in) and then held the knot to death. When the news of He Wuji's death came, the Eastern Jin Dynasty court was shocked, and even planned to abandon the capital and go north to Liu Yu, but fortunately Liu Yu had already received the edict, leaving Liu Muzhi, Nanyan to surrender to Han Fan, Feng Rong and others, and led the army to return south. (Soon after Liu Yu left, Liu Muzhi hunted and killed Han, Feng and others in the name of rebellion.) When Liu Yu returned to Shanyang County (Huai'an, Jiangsu), he heard the news that He Wuji was killed in battle, so he and dozens of people went to Huaishang (Huaishang District, Bengbu, Anhui) day and night to inquire about the news from pedestrians, and the pedestrians said: "The thieves have not yet come, if Liu Gong comes back, there is nothing to worry about" (it can be seen here that Liu Yu has won the respect and trust of the people) Liu Yu heard the great joy, and then took a boat across the Yangtze River, returned to Beijing, in April, Liu Yu returned to Beijing, The Eastern Jin Dynasty court breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Liu Yi suffered another defeat, what happened? It turned out that when Lu Xun and Xu Daofu raised the army, Liu Yi happened to be sick, and as soon as his illness was cured, he immediately went to the table to request the southern expedition, Liu Yu was afraid that he would lose, so he personally wrote a letter to him: "I used to often fight demon thieves (referring to Lu Xun and Xu Daofu) to know their changes, they have recently won and profited, and the edge should not be taken lightly, I am now preparing the ship, and I will send troops with you after the completion of the project, and when Lu Xun is pacified, the power in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River will be handed over to you." Liu Yu's Yishu said: "I used to fight demon thieves, and I know their metamorphosis." The thief's new profit (the benefit obtained through treacherous means, depreciated) is not to be taken lightly. Now that the ship is finished, it should be done with my brother. On the day of Keping, the high-class appointments were all commissioned. He also sent his younger brother Liu Fan to stop him, and after Liu Yi got the letter, he was furious and said: "In the past, because his temporary credit was not as good as Liu Yu, so I pushed him, and you are because I am really inferior to Liu Yu!" Yi was angry, and said: "If you push your ears with a momentary effort, you will say that I am really inferior to Liu Yuxie!" After speaking, he threw Liu Yu's letter on the ground and insisted on setting off.

At this time, Lu Xun's Western Route Army had captured Baling and was about to attack Jiangling, and Xu Daofu's Eastern Route Army was approaching Xunyang. If this battle is successful, the world can be decided, and Gangneung is not worried. Lu Xun was very happy, so he went down the river from Baling, joined forces with Xu Daofu, marched together, and fought with Liu Yi's army at Sangluozhou (now northeast of Jiujiang, Jiangxi).

Lu Xun's two-way naval army numbered as many as 100,000, Liu Yi was not an opponent at all, he was defeated, lost his ships, and fled on foot with hundreds of followers, and the rest of the troops, ships, and weapons were captured by Lu Xun.

Lu Xun just arrived in Xunyang, heard that Liu Yu was back, began not to believe, and later interrogated the prisoners, knowing that Liu Yu was really back, shocked, so he wanted to defend this place, take Jiangling to fight against Liu Yu, Xu Daofu insisted that he should take advantage of the victory, Lu Xun hesitated for many days before listening to his words, they took advantage of the victory to march into Jiangning, approaching Jiankang, Lu Xun's army at this time had more than 100,000 troops, the warship stretched for hundreds of miles, the momentum was huge, the strength of the army in Jiankang City was only a few thousand people, the disparity was huge, and the people in the court asked to move north more and more, such as Zhuge Changmin, etc., Including Meng Chang, who once supported Liu Yu, also strongly asked to move north.

Liu Yu replied: "Now that the outer town has been lost, there are strong bandits to force it, everyone is very afraid, there is no will to hold on, if it is moved, then it will immediately collapse, how can Jiangbei get there!" Even if you go to Jiangbei, you won't delay it for a few days, although the troops are small now, it is enough to fight, if you win, then you don't say, if you fail, then I should defend Sheji with death, and the corpse is in front of the Taimiao Temple (the emperor's family temple, the place where the emperor worships his ancestors), so I have always promised the country's will, and I must not go far to the grass to live, I have decided, you don't say more! ”

After Meng Chang returned home, he wrote a letter of apology, and then committed suicide. So Liu Yu began to recruit soldiers, mobilized residents to build a stone city, the whole city is strict (Baidu two ratios), someone suggested that Liu Yu divide troops to guard the key points everywhere, Liu Yu said: "The thieves are outnumbered, if the division of troops, it will be detected by the other party, and a defeat, the morale of the three armies will be depressed, now gather in the stone city, deal with it randomly, the thieves will not know how many troops we have, and the troops will not be dispersed, and the division of troops will be discussed later" Liu Yu recruited soldiers while stepping up the construction of Chapu, medicine garden, Tingwei three forts to strengthen the defense.

Besides, Xu Daofu, he is not only knowledgeable, but also courageous. He knew that his side was in an absolute advantage, and Liu Yu's army was plagued by injuries and was still recuperating, and it was the time to complete his work in one battle, so he asked Lu Xun to go ashore from Xinting and Baishi to attack Jiankang in several ways and fight a decisive battle with Liu Yu, but Lu Xun hesitated, so Xu Daofu sighed and said: "I will be mistaken by Lu Gong in the end, and nothing will be done; So that I have to drive for heroes, and the world is not enough! ”（

"After all, I was mistaken by Lu Gong, and the big thing will definitely be nothing; If I can be used by heroes, it will be nothing to calm the world. Sure enough, when the fortress was completed, Lu Xun came to attack again and lost one after another, retreating to Xunyang, and Liu Yu sent Wang Zhongde, Liu Zhong, and Kuai Kuǎi En to pursue him, and at the same time began to build warships.

Lu Xun also sent his general Xun Xún Lin to attack Jiangling, Huan Qian and Qian Daofu led an army of 20,000 from Sichuan to make peace with Xunlin, Liu Daogui broke Huan Qian and killed him in Zhijiang (Zhijiang City, Hubei), and broke Xun Lin in Jiangjin (Jiangjin District, Chongqing City) and killed him in Zhuding (this place is not available, everyone will have the opportunity to inquire near Jiangjin District in the future).

When Lu Xun retreated, Liu Yu knew that he was definitely going to attack Jiangling, so he sent Huailing (85 miles northwest of Xuyi xūyí County, Jiangsu) to lead the cavalry to aid Jingzhou, and let the Jianwei general Sun Jigao lead the crowd of 3,000, from the sea to attack Panyu, Lu Xun's army went north, almost poured out, Panyu's defense was ignored for a long time, Panyu soon lost, in October, Liu Yu led the army to the south, in Leichi (10 kilometers southeast of Wangjiang County, Anhui) to break Lu Xun, Xu Dao attacked Jiangling and was defeated by Liu Daogui, Lu Xun fled back to Yuzhang, A fence was built in the area of Zuoli (northwest of present-day Duchang, Jiangxi), but it could not stop the powerful offensive of Liu Yu's new naval army, and Lu Xun escaped in only a small boat.

Lu Xun and Xu Dao retreated to Guangzhou, and they still wanted to resist stubbornly. At the beginning of the seventh year of Yixi (411 AD), Xu Daofu's Shixing City was broken by the Jin army, and Xu Daofu died in battle.

Lu Xun was unable to capture Panyu, which Sun Chu had entrenched in, and continued to retreat into Jiaozhou, and was finally forced to commit suicide by throwing himself into a river in Longbian (present-day Hanoi East, Vietnam), and Lu Xun ended his shameful life.

Beiping Nanyan, destroying Lu Xun in the south, Liu Yu once again made great contributions to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty then crowned him as a Taiwei (one of the three dukes, in charge of military affairs, and

The difference between the "Governor of China and Foreign Military" is that the latter is set up in the face of major military operations or important ministers, and it is not available in any period, and the Taiwei is different, it is permanent) Zhongshu Jian (the governor of Zhongshu Province, similar to Zhongshu Ling and slightly higher, is also the title of the prime minister) At this time, there is no external trouble, and the contradiction between Liu Yu and his old comrades-in-arms is also acute, among the people who asked for Huan Xuan at the beginning, He Wuji and Meng Chang are dead, and only Liu Yi and Zhuge Changmin can pose a threat to Liu Yu, and the biggest threat to Liu Yu, It is Liu Yi, this person is quite talented, thinks very highly of himself, thinks that his talent is not under Liu Yu, so he often has grievances, and always wants to compete with Liu Yu.

At this time, Liu Daogui, the assassin of Jingzhou, returned to his hometown due to illness, Liu Yi took the opportunity to ask to replace his position, Liu Yu agreed to him, appointed him as the general of Wei, and supervised the military affairs of Jing, Ning, Qin, and Yongzhou, and turned to the Jingzhou Assassin History, and gave himself the title of Yuzhou Assassin History.

Liu Yu's move seems to be to promote Liu Yi and give him the military power in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River in name, but in fact, it is not ordinary shrewdness, Liu Yu uses the method of wanting to capture and indulge, and there is no excuse to deal with Liu Yi for the time being, it is better to let him out and let him expand his strength, and only destroy him in one fell swoop when the time is ripe!

Sure enough, Liu Yi was fooled, and when he was about to take office, he said to Liu Jingxuan: "Wu Xi (tiǎn, ashamed, humble words) Xiren (Jingzhou in Jiankangxi) wants to Qu Qing (Qing, a more affectionate title for friends and subordinates, different from the emperor's call for a courtier) for a long history and Nanban, how can you see any help?" (I'm going to serve as the assassin of Jingzhou, and I want to wronged you to serve as my chief historian and captain of the Nanban, I don't know if you are willing to assist me?)

Liu Jingxuan listened, assist you? This is obviously trying to win me over, doesn't this guy have any thoughts about Liu Gong and wants to rebel, right?

！ I was scared, I said a few words, and immediately went to tell Liu Yu, Liu Yu heard it, and said with a smile: "But (but, surely) let the brother be safe, and there will be no worries." At this time, Liu Yu had already made up his mind, just waiting for Liu Yi to enter the trap!

Sure enough, Liu Yi said that the number of household registrations in Jingzhou had dropped sharply after the Huanxuan Rebellion, and there were few weapons, so it was not easy to form an army.

Liu Yi then asked for the appointment of his confidant Xi Seng Shi as the captain of the Nanban and the Sima of the Later Army, and Mao Xiuzhi as the Taishou of the Southern County, and Liu Yu agreed as usual.

Ningyuan's general Hu Fan thought that Liu Yi was a person who was unwilling to be subordinate, and sooner or later he would rebel, and persuaded Liu Yu to get rid of him earlier. This is very intriguing, and it has the great merit of recovering the Eastern Jin Dynasty, because of Liu Yi's

"Pass" is not manifested, so it cannot be self-proclaimed, so what if his fault has been revealed? Liu Yu waited for the moment when he had already appeared, he didn't wait too long, Liu Yi arrived in Jiangling, readjusted the local officials, replaced them with his cronies, and incorporated a group of Jiangzhou soldiers, about 10,000 people, deliberately stayed in his hands and did not repatriate.

On the grounds that he was sick, he sent a letter to the imperial court, asking that his younger brother Liu Fan be transferred from Guangling as his deputy, and Liu Yu once again pretended to agree and secretly began to act.

Liu Fan entered Beijing to take office, and Liu Yu accused Liu Yi of plotting against him in the name of the edict, and his rebellious heart lasted for a long time.

Liu Fan and Xie were half-mixed

Before the word "anti" was spoken, Liu Yu was given death first. Liu Yu's movements were extremely fast, and he personally led his army from Jiankang to go against the current and crusade against Liu Yi.

Joining the army, Wang Zhenwei proposed to take a hundred clippers as the vanguard. Liu Yu took his advice, and after the army arrived at Guyi, he took Wang Zhenwei as the general of Zhenwu, and commanded a hundred clippers with the general of Long Xiang.

Before leaving, Liu Yu instructed Wang Zhen in a face-to-face manner: "If the enemy knows that I am coming, you might as well wait for the army to arrive, it will only be a few days." If you want to fight, you should disembark and go ashore. When you get there, you must carefully examine the situation, and if you can fight it, attack it, or else, burn the ships and leave some speedboats at the water's edge until our army arrives. Also, we must comfort the people in many ways and publicize the will of the edict: the responsibility is only for Liu Yi alone, and the rest of the people will be pardoned and not asked. If the enemy does not know the news of our advance and is not prepared, he can also consider a surprise attack. Along the way, it is said that it is the ship of Liu Fan, the assassin of Yanzhou. "The vanguard fleet traveled day and night in the name of Liu Fan and went west to Jingzhou.

Liu Yi and his subordinates believed it and did not put up any resistance. In less than a month, Wang Zhenwei and others arrived at Yuzhangkou (now southeast of Jiangling, Hubei), only twenty miles away from Jiangling City.

Seeing that Liu Yi was defenseless, Wang Zhenwei abandoned the ship and marched on foot, with Kuang's army in front and Wang Zhenevil's army following closely behind.

Each clipper kept one or two people, and erected flags and drums beside the boats, and instructed those who stayed to wait until the vanguard army was about to reach Gangneung City, and then beat the drums and shout, showing the appearance of a large army behind them; He also sent a small detachment to secretly burn Liu Yi's ship parked in Jiangjin (now southeast of Shashi, Hubei) and cut off his retreat.

There are still no passers-by who have any doubts about this vanguard force, and they all think that Liu Fan is coming to take up the post. Less than five or six miles away from the city, more than a dozen cavalry and dozens of infantry came head-on, and the leader was Liu Yi's general Zhu Xianzhi.

Zhu Xianzhi was ordered by Liu Yi to go to Jiangjin to carry out a mission, and when he saw that Kuai En and Wang Zhenwei were dressed quite strangely, he asked, "Who is here?" Wang Zhenwei replied as usual: "Liu Yanzhou is here!" Zhu Xianzhi asked again: "Then where is Liu Yanzhou himself?" He replied, "I haven't come up yet." Zhu Xian's heart was suspicious, looking into the distance, suddenly saw the direction of Jiangjin fire, drums loud, then understood that it was not Liu Fan, hurriedly turned back to the city, reported to Liu Yi, Liu Yi was shocked when he heard the news, and urgently ordered to close the city gates, but unfortunately it was a step late, Kuen and Wang Zhenwei led their subordinates to break through from the east gate of the outer city, and immediately divided their troops to attack the east gate and west gate of the inner city, Wang Zhenwei divided his troops to attack the south gate, and the two armies fought, from morning to afternoon, thousands of defenders in the city basically walked and fell.

Wang Zhen viciously entered the inner city, set fire to the wind, and burned the east and south gates of the outer city. Wang Zhenwei sent someone to send the edict and pardon to Liu Yi, but Liu Yi didn't read it, burned it, and continued to fight with Sima Mao Xiuzhi to command the soldiers with all their might.

The two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat in the inner city, and many of these soldiers were old generals of Beifu at the beginning, and they were very familiar with each other.

This work as expected, and Wang Zhenwei's army soon gained the upper hand. At this time, it was nearly midnight, and Wang Zhenwei was worried that the soldiers would kill each other in the middle of the night, so he led the army to surround the inner city, and opened the south gate to lure Liu Yi to escape.

Liu Yi was afraid that there was an ambush at the south gate, so he led the remaining more than 300 people to fight a bloody way to the north, and finally escaped from the east gate of the outer city.

He fled to a place twenty miles away from the city and hanged himself, and in this way, Liu Yi ended his life.

Let's introduce Wang Zhen evil again, he is the grandson of Wang Meng, the former Qin famous minister, after the defeat of the former Qin, he went to the people, and later followed his uncle to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, living in Jingzhou, he likes to read military books, although there is no martial arts, but resolute and decisive, very military talent, when Liu Yu attacked Guanggu, he was in Linli Lǐ County, Hunan Province as a county commander, someone recommended him to Liu Yu, so Liu Yu sent someone to recruit him, a talk, Liu Yu was surprised by his talent, so he stayed with him, the next day said to people: "Suppress evil, Wang Meng's grandson, the so-called generals have generals!" Wang Meng was both a famous minister and a famous general, so Liu Yu said that he was a general, so Liu Yu left him by his side as his own staff officer, during the rebellion of Lu Xun, Wang Zhenwei resisted Lu Xun in Chapu, and had many military exploits.

After Liu Yi's death, Liu Yu's main opponent was only Zhuge Changmin, when Liu Yi was conquest, in order to appease Zhuge Changmin, he let him supervise the Taiwei Mansion, after Liu Yu left, Zhuge Changmin began to be presumptuous, and did a lot of illegal things, and when Liu Yi was eliminated, he began to have a sense of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox, afraid that Liu Yu would deal with himself, so he had an anti-Liu Yu heart, he said to people: "'In the past, Peng Yue, the founder of the Western Han Dynasty, died in this punishment, here is a metaphor for Peng Yue Liu Yi, Compare yourself to Han Xin) killed Han Xin the year before last, 'woe to it! (I've already killed Liu Yi, I'm afraid I'm going to kill me now, and a catastrophe is coming!) He secretly tried Liu Yu's deputy, Liu Muzhi: "Many people say that Taiwei (Liu Yu) is not in harmony with me, what is the reason? Liu Muzhi responded: "Taiwei went west and entrusted his family to his feet, how can he say that he is not in harmony with you?" So he was a little relieved, Zhuge Changmin wrote a letter to Liu Jingxuan, and drew him together to oppose Liu Yu, Liu Jingxuan was Liu Yu's iron wire, how could he agree, immediately replied to refuse, and sent Zhuge Changmin's letter to Liu Yu, Liu Yu saw the letter and said: "Ah Shou (Liu Jingxuan's word Wanshou, here is the name) so I don't live up to me!" (Liu Jingxuan did this to show that he was not worthy of me!) At this time, Liu Yu had already made a killing move, ready to get rid of Zhuge Changmin. He led the men and horses to return from Jiangling to the east, and at first he walked with the large army, Zhuge Changmin got the news and waited for several days with the ministers, but he didn't see Liu Yu come back, and when he was not far from Jiankang, Liu Yu suddenly threw off the large army and quietly returned to the Taiwei Mansion by light boat.

The next morning, Zhuge Changmin heard that Liu Yu had returned, and he was shocked: Why did he come back suddenly without making a sound? You can't think you're trying to deal with yourself, right? So he hurried to the Taiwei Mansion, Liu Yu had already secretly arranged everything, as soon as Zhuge Changmin came, he stepped forward and pulled him to sit down and began to chat, Zhuge Changmin didn't react, and he was happy to chat with Liu Yu, and he was chatting happily, Liu Yu ambushed a warrior named Ding Yiǔ had already strangled his neck with a rope from behind, Zhuge Changmin struggled, and fell to the ground from the Hu bed (a foldable seat, similar to today's Mazar, because it was the earliest used by the Hu people, so it is called the Hu bed), Ding Yi beat him to death in the ground, Zhuge Changmin's younger brother Zhuge Limin was very brave and died in battle, and the younger brother Zhuge Youmin fled to the mountains and was eventually killed.

After cleaning up these two political enemies, Liu Yu began to prepare to eliminate the secession of Sichuan, as early as the eve of the fall of Zhuge Changmin, Liu Yu has begun to prepare, the first year of Yixi, the third year of Yixi, the two attacks on Shu did not go well, and there has been no time to destroy him over the years, and now he finally has time, in the ninth year of Yixi, in February 413, Liu Yu sent Zhu Lingshi, who was not in high reputation and status at that time, as the commander, commanded 20,000 troops to attack Shu, with Zang Xi, Kuaien, and Liu Zhong as deputy generals.

Before leaving, Liu Yu and Zhu Lingshi discussed the battle plan, and Liu Yu said: "Liu Jingxuan came out of the Yellow Tiger in previous years and retreated in vain. The thief said that I should go from the outer waters now, and I should be taken by surprise, as if I came from the inner waters. In this way, Fucheng will be guarded with heavy troops, now Mianyang, Sichuan, in order to prepare for the inner road. If you go to the Yellow Tiger, 正陊 (duò, fall into, trap) its plan. Today, the public takes Chengdu from the outside water, and the suspicious soldiers go out of the inner water, which is the wonder of controlling the enemy. (Liu Jingxuan's last attack from Huanghu via Neishui (referring to today's Fufú River and its lower Jialing River) was unsuccessful.) Logically, we should take the outer water (referring to today's Chengdu Fuhe River and its downstream Min Mín River), and the enemy may think that we will be taken by surprise and still attack from the inner water. In this way, they would definitely use heavy troops to guard Fucheng (present-day Mianyangdong, Sichuan) against internal waters. So if we go from Huanghu again, we must be right in the way. I think it would be better to arrange a small number of suspicious soldiers to take the inner water, and use the army to take Chengdu directly from the outer water, which will definitely be able to win by surprise. In order to be afraid that the leak would be known by the enemy, Liu Yu specially wrote a letter, sealed it and handed it to Zhu Lingshi, which read: To the White Emperor Naikai (this can be regarded as Liu Yu's version of the "trick" Zhuge Liang's trick is fiction, he is a historical fact, but the generals who implemented this trick have already known in advance, and it seems that there is a lack of a little "like a god" feeling)

Zhu Lingshi went upstream, and after arriving at the White Emperor, he opened the letter, which read: "All the troops took Chengdu from the outer water, Zang Xi and Zhu Lin took the Guanghan from the middle water, so that the weak took more than ten high ships, and went to the Yellow Tiger from the internal water." (The main force of the whole army attacked Chengdu from outside the water; Zang Xi and Zhu Lin attacked Guanghan (present-day Shehongnan, Sichuan) from Zhongshui (present-day Mianshuikou, which enters the river at the foot of Fangshan Mountain in Pengshan, Sichuan), and sent old and weak soldiers to take a dozen tall ships to feint against Huanghu from Neishui. ”）

Zhu Lingshi got the trick, so he arranged it, and the armies did the same. After getting the information, he determined that the suspicious soldiers in Neishui were the main force of the Jin army, and ordered Qian Daofu to guard Fucheng with heavy troops to prevent the Jin army from attacking from Neishui. In this way, the march route taken by Zhu Lingshi's main force almost became an undefended section of the Shu army, and the army soon arrived at Pengmo (now the east bank of the Min River in the southeast of Pengshan Mountain, Sichuan), only 200 miles away from Chengdu. He ordered Hou Hui and Shēn to lead more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed in Pengmo, and built fortifications across the water to refuse.

Zhu Lingshi led Kuai En and Liu Zhong to attack Pengmo, overcame the steep and difficult Pengmo Beicheng, killed Hou Hui and Qian Xu, turned to attack the southern city, and took them together, beheading fifteen generals, the enemy's defense line collapsed, and the army marched on the boat.

When Zang Xi marched to Guanghan (Guanghan City, Sichuan), he died of illness, Zhu Lin arrived in Guanghan and broke the Daofu, killed the Fu Fu, and fled to Fucheng after hearing the news, and was killed by a person named Wang Zhi, the soldiers were unwilling to obey his command anymore, and they dispersed their property, and the Daofu went to the tribe of the wingmen of Guanghan, and was also captured by the locals and beheaded by the Jin army, so far, Sichuan was pacified, at this time, Liu Yu's opponent was only left after Liu Yi succeeded Sima Xiuzhi of Jingzhou Assassin History, he was quite popular in Jingzhou, This aroused Liu Yu's suspicions, but Liu Yu hadn't caught his handle for a while, so he could only endure it temporarily.

In addition to eliminating dissidents, Liu Yu also implemented the soil break in the ninth year of Yixi, the so-called soil break, but also from the north of the big ethnic groups moved to the south, since the Jin Huai Emperor Yongjia years (307-313 years), the Han people in the north because of the war, under the leadership of the Shi clan wealthy family have crossed to the south, to go to Langya King Sima Rui, that is, the later Jin Ming Emperor, because most of these people are powerful clans, the Eastern Jin Dynasty court in order to settle them, issued a policy, called "overseas Chinese counties" What does it mean? For example, if you move from Shangdang County in the north to Huiji County in the south, then within the jurisdiction of Huiji County, set aside a part of the land and set up a Shangdang County, because it is a county that houses the overseas Chinese migrants, so this kind of county is called Qiaojun and Qiaoxian, and this part of the people who cross the south is called Qiaoren, and the household registration of overseas Chinese is called "white nationality" Do not incorporate into the official household registration, do not bear the country's taxes, this will bring a lot of trouble, because the north continues to have people moving to the south, so it is necessary to constantly set up overseas Chinese counties, overseas Chinese counties, which has caused more and more counties, and the territory is getting smaller and smaller, the country's tax revenue is getting less and less, in addition to more and more counties, but also caused several counties of the government (Baidu roll) government in the same county situation, so it is very troublesome to govern, the government is out of many doors, many things do not know which county government should be managed, This requires the destruction of the land, which is to abolish the overseas Chinese counties and counties, and to compile the overseas Chinese into the "yellow nationality", that is, the official household registration of the state, so as to facilitate management and increase financial revenue, but because people continue to cross to the south, it is necessary to continue to set up overseas Chinese counties and counties, and it is also necessary to carry out a land break every few decades, and the land break policy runs through the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties.

Yixi ten years, 414 years, the excuse to clean up Sima Xiuzhi was finally found by Liu Yu, Sima Xiuzhi has a son named Sima Wensi, he inherited the title of his uncle King Chen, living in the capital, this kid has a temper, frivolous and indulgent behavior, often violates the decrees issued by Liu Yu, so from time to time he is summoned by the Yamen to the hall to eat lawsuits, Sima Wensi is very unhappy, plus he also has opinions about Liu Yu's monopoly of power, and he recruited a group of people to rebel against Liu Yu, and Liu Yu also wants to clean him up, March, Someone participated in Sima Wensi's unauthorized killing of state officials, Liu Yu killed his henchmen and forgave Sima Wensi, sent him to Jiangling, and let Sima Xiuzhi watch it, Sima Xiuzhi knew that Liu Yu was coming for him, but he pretended to be confused, just asked for the resignation of the blame, and removed his son's title, Liu Yu was furious at first sight, and decided to take a real look at him, in the first month of the second year, his second son Sima Wenbao and nephew Sima Wenzu were arrested in prison and given to death, and he personally led the army to the west, and he also served as the assassin of Jingzhou.

After Liu Yu set out on the expedition, Liu Jingxuan's army Sima Daoci and his colleague Lu Daoxiu, the junior general Wang Mengzi and others wanted to raise troops to respond to Sima Xiuzhi, just at this time, Liu Jingxuan summoned Lu Daoxiu to discuss the matter, so that the left and right people retreated, Wang Mengzi saw the opportunity, he followed Liu Jingxuan into the secret room, and killed him with his saber, Liu Jingxuan died at the age of forty-four, Liu Yu cried after knowing it, very sad, and hated Sima Xiuzhi even more.

Liu Yu heard that Sima Xiuzhi's army Han Yanzhi was a talent, and he had the intention to surrender, so he wrote him a secret letter to persuade him to surrender, but Han Yanci rejected Liu Yu, and he heard that Liu Yu's father Liu Qiao's character was Xianzong, so he changed his character to Xianzong to show his contempt for Liu Yu.

In March, Liu Yu led his army to Jiangling, and Sima Xiuzhi's Yongzhou assassin Shi Lu Zongzhi sent his son Lu Rail to attack and kill Jiangxia Taishou Liu Qianzhi, Liu Yu then sent his son-in-law Xu Kuizhi, let him lead the army Kuaien, Wang Yunzhi, and Shen Yuanzi as the vanguard, from Jiangxiakou (that is, the confluence of the Yangtze River and Xiashui, now Jianlixi, Hubei) to attack Lu Rail, the two armies fought in Pozun (now southeast of Jiangling, Hubei), Xu Kuizhi and others were defeated and died, only Kuaien's army barely held.

When Liu Yu's army reached Matou (northwest of present-day Gong'an, Hubei), he received the news that he had been defeated twice in a row and that his son-in-law had been killed in battle. The river banks in this area are all cliffs several zhang high, Lu Liang and Sima Wensi led 40,000 troops to guard, lined up on the cliffs, Liu Yu's army could not go ashore at all. Liu Yu was dressed neatly, ready to land in person, the generals did not listen to the bitter advice, the main book Xie Hui (this Xie Hui is the nephew of the leader of the army Xie Ming, originally Meng Chang's army, after Meng Chang's death, Liu Yu asked Liu Muzhi: "Among Meng Chang's subordinates, who can enter my house?" Liu Muzhi recommended Xie Hui, Liu Yu let Xie Hui serve as his army, once Liu Yu interrogated the case, this morning the military in charge of criminal cases was sick, so let Xie Hui replace him on duty, Xie Hui hurriedly read the case file in the car at work, when Liu Yu asked him, there was no mistake at all, Liu Yu admired his talent, and immediately let him be in charge of criminal cases, when Yixi was broken, he was in charge of Yangzhou and Yuzhou, known for his fairness, and he was also very handsome, and his literary talent was very outstanding and loyal to Liu Yu, Therefore, Liu Yu likes him very much, and this time Sima Xiuzhi was recruited, so he was asked to serve as the chief bookkeeper with the army, that is, the secretary general) stepped forward and hugged Liu Yu, Liu Yu was also anxious, and said angrily: "I will kill Qing!" Xie Hui said: "There is no obscurity in the world, no justice, and no obscurity!" (The world can be without me Xie Hui, can't be without the public, what does it matter if I die?!) Liu Yu calmed his anger a little, and he ordered the Jianwu general Hu Fan to go ashore, and Hu Fan used the tip of his knife to stab small grooves in the cliff, just enough to accommodate his toes, and thus climbed up step by step (it can be seen that Hu Fan was an early pioneer of rock climbing). More and more troops followed, and they followed him bravely ashore and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the armies of Sima Wensi and others.

Jingzhou's army had never seen such a brave posture and was quickly repulsed. Liu Yu took advantage of the victory and stormed, Sima Xiuzhi's army was defeated, and Jiangling was conquered.

Sima Xiuzhi and Lu Zongzhi fled north and sent people to Hou Qin and Northern Wei for help, while Lu Liang defended Shicheng (now Zhongxiang, Hubei) in order to make a last stand, but was defeated by Liu Yu's subordinates Zhao Lunzhi and Shen Linzi.

Sima Xiuzhi, Lu Zongzhi's two fathers and sons, as well as Han Yanzhi, who swore to oppose Liu, and other cadres had to defect to Later Qin, and Sima Xiuzhi of the clan was forced to leave his homeland again.

Liu Yu won the final victory in the power struggle, and he was crowned Taifu and Yangzhou Mu, and enjoyed

"The sword shoes go to the temple, the court does not tend, and the praise is not named" (the sword shoes go to the temple, with the sword and shoes to the temple, according to the general regulations at that time, you are not allowed to bring weapons when you go to the court, nor can you wear shoes, because there were no chairs at that time, they all sat on the ground, and they had to take off their shoes when they entered the room.

If you don't tend to enter the court, you tend to walk quickly, which shows your respect for the monarch, and if you don't tend to do it, you don't need to walk quickly. Praise is not named, courtiers see the emperor, there must be a special official to report his name, praise is not the emperor when the official does not report his name) the highest treatment.

In the twelfth year of Yixi, in the first month of 416, he was crowned the general of Pingbei and the assassin of Yanzhou, and increased the governor of Southern Qinzhou, the total number of governors reached twenty-two, and in March, he was named the governor of China and foreign capitals, so far, Liu Yu is already nominal

"Under one man", actually

"Above 10,000 people", you can do whatever you want, just at this time the Later Qin monarch Yao Xing died, his son Yao Hong was kind and cowardly, and had no ability, the political situation in Later Qin was unstable, Liu Yu saw an opportunity, so he prepared for the second Northern Expedition.

In August of the twelfth year of Yixi, Liu Yu began the Northern Expedition, and his battle plan was to attack from Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou and other places on the border of Qin and Jin, and form a semicircular encirclement posture against Later Qin from the east and south, and take the Kwantung region in one fell swoop, and then attack Tongguan together.

The Jin army is divided into five routes, consisting of two parts: the first road is the forward of the infantry army, led by the general Wang Zhenwei and the champion general Tan Daoji, from Huaishui and Weishui to Xuchang and Luoyang; The second route was led by Xinye Taishou Zhu Chaoshi and Ningshuo general Hu Fan, attacking Yangcheng (now southeast of Dengfeng, Henan) from Xiangyang, and responding to the main force of the forward; The third route, led by Zhenwu general Shen Tianzi and Jianwei general Fu Hongzhi, attacked Wuguan (southwest of present-day Shangxian County, Shaanxi) from Xiangyang; The fourth road is the water army, led by the Jianwu general Shen Linzi and Pengcheng Neishi Liu Zunkao, out of Shimen (now northwest of Xingyang, Henan), from Bianshui into the Yellow River, straight to Luoyang; The Fifth Road is also a naval army, which is the vanguard army led by Wang Zhongde, the assassin of Northern Yanzhou, who opened Juyeze (now Juyebei, Shandong) into the Yellow River.

The five-way army marched hand in hand, and the momentum was like a rainbow. The ruling center of Later Qin was in Guanzhong, and the Kwantung region was seized by Yao Xing by taking advantage of the civil strife in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but for more than ten years, the army was relatively weak.

Wang Zhenwei and Tan Daoji entered the territory of the Later Qin State along the way, invincible, and won successive battles. The Qin army had no determination to resist, and the general Wang Gousheng used Qiqiu (now northeast of Shangqiu, Henan) to surrender the king to suppress evil, and Xuzhou Assassin Shi Yao Zhang surrendered to Tandaoji with Xiangcheng.

Most of the rest of the fortress guards surrendered to the wind, only Xin Cai was too guarded by Dong Zun, and he was also easily taken by Tan Daoji, and Dong Zun was captured and killed.

Tan Daoji continued to march his troops, conquered Xuchang, and captured Yao Yuan, the Taishou of Later Qin Yingchuan, and Yang Ye, the general.

Shen Linzi also successfully conquered Cangyuan (now northwest of Kaifeng, Henan) all the way, and the Yanzhou Assassin Shi Weihua of Later Qin had to surrender, and at the same time Wang Zhongde also led his army to the west, approaching the slip platform of the Northern Wei Dynasty (now the east of Huaxian County, Henan), and Chi Jian, the assassin of Yanzhou of the Northern Wei Dynasty, led the army to abandon the city and fled, and Wang Zhongde's soldiers took the slip platform without blood.

In the previous year, Yao Xing had married his daughter to the Ming Yuan Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuoba Hei was very angry at the Jin army's attack on Hou Qin, and immediately sent his uncle Sun Jian and Gongsun Biao to lead the army across the river, behead Wei Jian, and the soldiers came to the city to shout to Wang Zhongde, asking him why he invaded Wei.

Wang Zhongde understood that he could not offend the Northern Wei Dynasty at this time, so he let his Sima Zhu and Zhi Dengcheng answer, saying that the Jin army attacked Hou Qin only to clean the imperial tomb of the Jin family, and had no intention of being an enemy of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and he just occupied the city to rest, Liu Yu also personally wrote a letter to apologize, at this time the Northern Wei Dynasty had just quelled the rebellion of the Shangdang, and did not want to clash with the Jin army for a while, and said that Wang Zhenwei and Tan Daoji were both famous generals, and they won consecutive battles all the way, and soon approached Luoyang, and Luoyang's defender was Yao Zhuguāng, He did not listen to the advice of his subordinate Zhao Xuan, and did not stick to Kim Yong Cheng (this was mentioned in the story of Empress Yang), but divided his troops to guard various key points, but was defeated by the Jin army, and finally had to surrender.

Just when the foreign enemy invaded, the Later Qin clan and the state pastor Yao Yi yì raised troops again, intending to abolish Yao Hong's self-reliance, Yao Hong's elite soldiers and strong generals, did not have the opportunity to deal with the Jin and Xia people, and were wasted in the war to pacify the internal strife. Poor Yao Hong, when he met the hundred officials in the main hall, he couldn't help the pain in his heart, and cried loudly with the ministers.

Wang Zhenwei in order to appease the people's hearts, all the captives were dismissed, this behavior was quite rare at the time, broke through Luoyang, Liu Yu Chunfeng was proud, so he sent Zuo Changshi Wang Hong back to Jiankang to ask for Jiuxi, the Eastern Jin Dynasty court naturally agreed, and also set aside ten counties for the Song State, Liu Yu was named the Duke of Song, Liu Yu was very high, and he did not accept it, and dismissed him just to test the reaction of the imperial court, his intention was not in Jiuxi, it was just a formality, Liu Muzhi only found out at this time that his lord wanted to usurp the throne and stand on his own, And he has worked for him for many years, and he was angry and ashamed for a while, and he couldn't afford to get sick after a while. (Liu Muzhi is more similar to Cao Cao's advisor Xun Yuyù, who is also very talented, and in terms of political stance, he is loyal to the previous dynasty if he says it well, and he is very pedantic when he says it badly.) In troubled times, such a person is probably the most depressed and painful to live)

Speaking of the Hou Qin side, at this time Yao Hong was really anxious, and hurriedly sent someone to the Northern Wei Dynasty for help, the Ming Yuan Emperor Tuoba Hei convened the ministers to discuss, everyone said: "Tongguan is a natural danger, Liu Yu is very difficult to attack with a water army, if he lands on the shore to invade the north, it will be easy, Liu Yu claimed that it is to cut Qin, but its ambition is unpredictable, and Hou Qin and the Northern Wei are in-laws, can not go to the rescue, should send troops to block the upper reaches of the Yellow River, prevent him from going west" only the doctor sacrifice wine (a kind of scholar, began in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the duty is to teach Confucian classics) Cui Hao said:" Liu Yu has been plotting against Qin for a long time, now Yao Xing is dead, Yao Hong is cowardly, and the country is not peaceful, Liu Yu took advantage of this critical time to cut down Qin, it is determined to take, if the upper reaches are blocked, then Liu Yu is furious, he will definitely go ashore and invade our country, then it will become our victim on behalf of Qin, and now the Rouran tribe is still attacking the border, and the grain harvest is poor, if Liu Yu is the enemy again, then the Rouran clan in the north will go deep into the border, and the rescue of the north will be dangerous in the south of the state and county, this is not a good plan, it is better to lend it to him, Then garrison troops in the east to block his retreat, if Liu Yu can capture Hou Qin, he will definitely be grateful to us for borrowing the road to him, if not, we will not lose the name of saving Qin. Tuoba thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate, so he still sent 100,000 cavalry to garrison the north bank of the Yellow River and wait and see what happened.

Liu Yu was very annoyed with the Wei army stationed on the north bank, the Wei army adopted the strategy of "the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I attack", as soon as there is a Jin ship blown to the north bank by the wind, the Wei army immediately attacked, and when Liu Yu chased, the Wei army immediately retreated, which made Liu Yu very depressed, so he decided to give the Wei army a little color to see, he sent that Ding Yi with 700 soldiers, 100 military vehicles, rushed to the north bank. A hundred paces from the shore, a semicircular formation called the "crescent-shaped formation" was set up with military chariots, with two ends against the river, and seven soldiers sat on each chariot, and then a white feather was erected in the array. Wei Jun didn't understand this formation, and he didn't dare to move. Suddenly, the white feathers in the moon array were raised, Liu Yu's general Zhu Chaoshi led two thousand soldiers with a hundred crossbows, rushed to the formation, each car increased twenty people, each station lined up twenty armor soldiers, left and right front and rear large shields to cover at this time the Wei army had more than 30,000 people, all cavalry, feeling sure to deal with the Jin army, so they began to attack, at this time Liu Yu ordered to prepare more than 1,000 long lances, each lance was broken into three or four feet, mounted on the crossbow, with an iron hammer to shoot and fire, the power of the crossbow was very strong, this cut spear shot, can penetrate three or four Wei troops, the Wei army has never seen such a formation and weapons, for a time was beaten in embarrassment, one after another, the Jin army took advantage of the victory to pursue, killing thousands of Wei troops! Tuoba Hei was repaid, only to regret not listening to Cui Hao's advice, but he still had doubts about whether Liu Yu could defeat Qin, so he asked Cui Hao, Cui Hao said: "In the past, Yao Xing was vain and not pragmatic, Yao Hong was cowardly and sickly, brothers were fighting, Liu Yu took advantage of his danger to fight, and the soldiers were brave, and he was sure that he would be able to conquer it" Tuoba Hei asked again: "How is Liu Yu like Murong Chui?" Cui Hao said: "Yusheng" Tuoba Hei said: "Try to say it" Cui Hao said: "Murong inherited the capital of his father and ancestor Shijun, he was born noble, and the same kind returned to him, like a moth to the fire, with less reliance, he made meritorious contributions, Liu Yu rose up from the cold, did not step up the soil, fought to destroy Huan Xuan, revived the Jin room, captured Murong Chao in the north, destroyed Lu Xun in the south, and went forward!" If it is not his talent, can An Neng be like this? (Tuoba asked Cui Hao: "How is Liu Yu compared to Murong Chui?") Cui Hao said: "Liu Yu is better than Murong Chui" Tuoba Si asked: "Then tell me the reason" Cui Hao said, "Murong Chui inherited the capital of his father and ancestors as the monarch for generations, and he was born noble, and his clan was mostly attached to him, just like a moth to a fire, as long as he relied on a little, it was enough to establish a meritorious career, and Liu Yu was born poor, his family background was low, and he didn't even have the capital of a foot of land, but he was able to destroy Huan Xuan, revive the royal family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, capture Murong Chao in the north, and destroy Lu Xun in the south, and he is unstoppable!" If it weren't for his talent, how could this be? So Tuoba Si no longer stopped Liu Yu.

Wang Zhenxi, Tan Daoji, Shen Linzi and others, taking this opportunity, Wang Zhenwei marched into Tongguan, Tan Daoji and Shen Linzi crossed the Yellow River north from Shaancheng (west of Sanmenxia City, Henan), and attacked Puhan Bǎn (now Yu Township, Yongji County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province) could not be conquered for a while, so Shen Linzi persuaded Tan Daoji and Wang Zhenwei to join forces to attack Tongguan, and the three generals were quickly captured, and the defender Yao Shao was defeated and retreated The three generals met again, and the Jin army was suddenly invincible and soon captured Tongguan, Later, the Qin garrison general Yao Shao was defeated and retreated to Dingcheng (now Tongguanxi, Shaanxi) and refused to defend it. Yao Shao sent troops to cut off the Jin army's food routes and block the waterways, but they were all thwarted by Shen Linzi. Yao Shao held for a month, and then sent Shi Yao Qia, Ning Shuo's general An Luan and others to lead 2,000 troops to set up river defenses in the area of Jiuyuan (now Xinjiangbei, Shanxi), in order to force him to retreat again by cutting off the Jin army's food aid. Shen Linzi sent troops to intercept in the middle of the road, and killed all the Qin soldiers. Poor Yao Shao, when he heard that Yao Qia was defeated and died, he was so angry and ashamed that he vomited blood and died. Yao Zan of Dongping, the Duke of Dongping, exercised military power on his behalf, led troops to attack the enemy Shen Linzi, and was defeated again.

Subsequently, Liu Yu arrived in Shaancheng, Shen Tianzi, Fu Hongzhi and others stationed in Qingni (now Lantian, Shaanxi) Yao Hong planned to recruit in person, and was afraid that Shen Tianzi would copy his back road, so he planned to kill Shen Tianzi's men and horses first, and then go out of Tongguan to fight a decisive battle with the Jin army, Shen Tianzi's men and horses were only about 1,000 people, originally used as a suspicious soldier, Fu Hongzhi was steady, I heard that Yao Hong personally led tens of thousands of troops to come, and planned to retreat, but Shen Tianzi said: "The use of soldiers is expensive in using strange strategies, not because there are many people and horses, and when they are in formation, it is impossible for us to escape, and now the enemy has just arrived, Their formation has not yet been listed, let's strike first, we will definitely be able to make meritorious contributions! So he said to the soldiers, "The princes have ventured far away, and they are seeking the battle of the day, a battle of life and death, and the feud of the marquis lies in this battle!" When the soldiers heard this, they immediately came to the spirit, and they all took one as ten, and fought hard to attack the Hou Qin army, and the Hou Qin army was defeated, Yao Hong fled back to Ba Bà (southeast of Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, west of Lantian) Liu Yu's army arrived at Tongguan, Wang Zhenwei asked to lead the naval army from the Yellow River into Weishui, and directly took Chang'an, Liu Yu agreed. Later, the Qin Huiwu general Yao Nan returned to Chang'an from Xiangcheng (now Chaoyidong, Shaanxi), and Wang Zhenwei led his troops to pursue along Weishui. Seeing this, Yao Hong led his troops back to Tunshiqiao (now northeast of Luomen, Chang'an City) from Ba Shang to rescue Yao Nan. Mao Dezu, the general of the Wang Zhen evil faction, attacked Yao Nan and won a great victory, beheading Yao Qiang, the general of Zhenbei, and Yao Nan fled to Chang'an. Yao Hong hurriedly transferred Yao Pi to guard the Weiqiao Bridge to prevent Wang Zhenwei from coming ashore, where could he still stop the Jin army that was swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger? Wang Zhenwei led the army to abandon the boat and go ashore by the Wei Bridge, fought against the water, and defeated Yao Pi. Yao Hong and others came to the rescue, and ran headlong into the defeated Yao Pi defeated soldiers, and the Qin soldiers trampled on each other, and Yao Hong himself rode back to the palace alone.

Wang Zhenwei attacked Chang'an from Pingshuo Gate. The next day, Yao Hong, who had no way out, led his concubine, the prince and the civil and military officials to kneel down in front of the door, and asked the high-spirited Wang Zhen to surrender, and the Later Qin State, which once dominated Guanzhong, perished.

Liu Yu was still unrelenting in his treatment of the enemy, and sent Yao Hong to Jiankang to be beheaded, and the rest of the clan except for Yao Xing's niece who was taken as a concubine by Liu Yu because of her beauty, everyone else was killed, and Yao Hong's youngest son Yao Fonian jumped off the palace wall and died before Yao Hong surrendered.

Liu Yu came to Bashang and said to Wang Zhenxi, who came to greet him: "Chengwu hegemon, Qing Ye!" Wang Zhenwei said: "This is all the power of the Ming Gong and the power of the generals, what credit does my Wang Zhenwei have?" Liu Yu smiled and said, "Do you want to learn from Feng Yi?" (Feng Yi is the general of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu, he is very humble, when the generals talk about their merits, he is always silent, so he got the nickname of "General Big Tree") Although Wang Zhenwei is a generation of famous generals, he has a big problem: greed, the treasury of the Later Qin Dynasty is full, and Wang Zhen's evil soldiers are stolen and stolen, countless. Liu Yu is clear about this, "with his great merit, don't ask". When someone told Wang Zhenwei that he had secretly hidden Yao Hong's imperial chariot niǎn (the car in which the monarch was riding), Liu Yu sent someone to secretly observe, and the person sent to report that Wang Zhenwei was just greedy for the treasure decoration on the imperial chariot, and after all the items were removed, the imperial chariot shelf was thrown away in the corner, and Liu Yu was relieved.

Liu Yu's original intention was to stay in Chang'an, prepare to run the northwest, and unify the north, "and the generals Zuojiu Sigui, do not want to stay" to stay until the end of the year, Liu Yu learned that Liu Muzhi, a henchman who stayed in Jiankang, died of illness, this Liu Mu died, Liu Yu lost the general manager, the most powerful assistant in the rear was gone, and reluctantly promoted Liu Muzhi's deputy Xu Xianzhi to take his post. In this case, Liu Yu began to prepare to return to the south, in fact, the main reason for Liu Yu's return to the south is because of Liu Muzhi's death, there is no right-hand man in the rear, and second, because of his own desire and ambition for the throne. From generals to soldiers, they have made a fortune, and the most fundamental reason why Sigui is afraid is not so reliable, is because Liu Yu's ambition for the throne has surpassed the grand ambition of making meritorious contributions.

He let Liu Yizhen, the second son of the army, stay, and served as the governor of Yongliang and Qin Sanzhou, and served as the governor of Yongliang and Qin Sanzhou, and the general of Anxi, and Feng Wang Zhenwei was Anxi Sima and Feng Yiyì Taishou (the name of the administrative region, which began in the Han Dynasty, governed several counties, and belonged to the central administrative region) and Liu Yu's army Wang Xiu jointly assisted Liu Yizhen in Chang'an. In addition, Liu Yu also left Shen Tianzi, Mao Dezu, Fu Hongzhi and others to deal with important military affairs.

These people, the ability is good, but there is a problem, there is no team spirit, no one is convinced, this Northern Expedition Wang Zhen has the greatest credit, plus his grandfather Wang Meng is also very influential in the north, so Shen Tianzi and others are very jealous of him, and repeatedly said to Liu Yu that Wang Zhen is not to be trusted, Liu Yu was confused at this time, he said to Shen Tianzi: "When the Three Kingdoms Zhong Hui rebelled in Sichuan, it was because there was Wei Qian Guàn, as the saying goes, 'fierce beasts are not as good as foxes', more than a dozen of you, are you afraid that you can't deal with a Wang Zhen evil?" ”

The so-called "don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people" Since Liu Yu is not at ease with Wang Zhenevil, he should take him to return to the south together, if he trusts him, he should severely reprimand Shen Tianzi, or take Shen Tianzi to return to the south, both to hand over the responsibility of guarding the town to Wang Zhenevil, but to say this to Shen Tianzi in private, which is tantamount to supporting infighting... Alas! From this point of view, Liu Yu's ability to recognize and employ people is much worse than Cao Gong's.

Shen Tianzi has always been not in harmony with Wang Zhen, this got Liu Yu's hint, began to secretly prepare to deal with Wang Zhenevil, at the end of the thirteenth year of Yixi, Liu Yu left Chang'an to lead the army to the south, Xia Wang Helian Bobo has always wanted to occupy Guanzhong, heard that Liu Yu was gone, immediately discussed with the minister Wang Maide how to capture Guanzhong, Wang Maide said: "Guanzhong is a beautiful place, and Yu is guarding it with his young son, and he is returning in embarrassment, and he is trying to become a usurper, and he has no time to return to the Central Plains, it is advisable to send the advance army to cut off, the east of the Tongguan, cut off its land and water road, and then pass the three auxiliary (the administrative division of the Han Dynasty, here refers to Guanzhong) to give Weide. Then the righteousness is really in the net 罟 gǔ (fishing net), not enough to take it! ”

(Guanzhong is a dangerous place with a superior geographical location, but Liu Yu let his young son guard it, and returned in embarrassment, because he was anxious to go back to usurp the throne and had no time to take care of the Central Plains, this is a godsend to us in Guanzhong, not to lose, We should send troops to cut off the two dangerous points in the north and south of Qingni and Shangluo, and then block Tongguan in the east, block the water and land roads, and then spread the Guanzhong, and apply both virtue to the common people, then Liu Yizhen is like in a fishing net, and it is effortless to catch him!) ）

According to his plan, Helian Bobo sent the general Helian Guī to lead 20,000 cavalry as the vanguard to kill Chang'an, the former general Helian Chang attacked Tongguan and cut off the passage of the Jin army, Wang Maide entered Qingni, and Helian Bobo personally led the army as the successor.

In the fourteenth year of Yixi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in the first month of 418, Helian Xuan's cavalry reached the north of Weishui and approached the north gate of Chang'an. The defenders of Chang'an in the Eastern Jin Dynasty had no fighting spirit, and Shen Tianzi went to resist, but the enemy did not advance, retreated to Liu Huibao outside Chang'an City, and sent people to report to Wang Zhenzhen.

After Wang Zhen was revenged, he said to Wang Xiu: "Duke Liu entrusted his ten-year-old son to us, and we should think of doing our best to repay the service. Soon, Wang Zhenwei and Shen Tianzi went out of the city to resist Helian. Shen Tianzi asked people to spread rumors in the army: "Wang Zhenevil wants to kill all the southerners, and rebel according to Guanzhong!" Then, he used the excuse to summon Wang Zhenwei to Fu Hong's tent to discuss the matter, and took the opportunity to kill him.

Fu Hongzhi got the news and reported back to Liu Yizhen and Wang Xiu. Wang Xiu climbed the north city of Chang'an to look around, and saw Shen Tianzi returning to the city with more than a dozen people, and immediately ordered his subordinates to hold down Shen Tianzi, count his crimes of killing the general, and then behead him. An internal strife caused the Eastern Jin Dynasty to lose two strong generals, but fortunately, Fu Hongzhi led his troops to defeat Helian Bi, and pursued them until the widow's crossing (now Qingyangbei, Gansu), temporarily repulsed the Xia army, and stabilized the situation.

Liu Yizhen is a child, he rewards his cronies excessively, Wang Xiu is upright, he is persuaded by the routine, and his rewards are suppressed, Liu Yizhen's cronies are very resentful of Wang Xiu, so he said to Liu Yizhen: "Wang Zhen wants to rebel, so Shen Tianzi killed him, and Wang Xiu killed Shen Tianzi, he also wanted to rebel!" So Liu Yizhen killed Wang Xiu again, which made the people of Chang'an panic, the situation began to be unstable, Liu Yizhen found that it was not good, so he transferred many troops who were guarding in other places into Chang'an, so at a glance, the garrison of Guanzhong was greatly weakened, so most of the counties in Guanzhong surrendered to Helian Bobo's Xia State, Helian Bobo conquered Xianyang, and Chang'an even blocked the road to firewood.

When Liu Yu heard the news, he sent Kuai En to Chang'an to recall Liu Yizhen, and then sent Zhu Lingshi to guard Chang'an on behalf of Liu Yizhen, and sent Zhu Chaoshi to Hedong and other places to labor the army, Zhu Lingshi's troops had just arrived in Chang'an, Liu Yizhen knew that he was about to return to Jiangnan, so he began to loot property, and the vehicles were lined up in a phalanx and walked slowly, Helian Bobo sent Helian Bi to lead 30,000 people to pursue, Fu Hongzhi persuaded Liu Yizhen to travel lightly, but Liu Yizhen did not listen, retreated to Qingni, and bumped into Wang Maide, who had been waiting here for a long time, and looked back, Helian Bi had also arrived, Where is the opponent of the Jin army, it collapsed in an instant. After Fu Hongzhi and Kuai En broke off, they covered Liu Yizhen to go first, and both of them were captured by Wang Maide. Liu Yizhen was fast, walked in front, and later hid in the grass, and was protected by Duan Hong, a Chinese soldier, before escaping from the pursuit range of Xia Bing. The Jin army was completely annihilated, and the soldier who was obsessed with money and beauty at the beginning finally suffered the retribution of greed.

Retribution is not over, Zhu Lingshi also suffered together, after Liu Yizhen left, the people of Chang'an completely lost their good impression of the Jin people, they expelled Zhu Lingshi, Zhu Lingshi was forced to flee to Tongguan, and met his younger brother Zhu Chaoshi on the way, this trip was already counted by Wang Maide, Helian Chang was stationed in Tongguan, he cut off the waterway of the Jin army, captured the Zhu brothers, Helian Bobo stationed in Chang'an, killed Fu Hongzhi, Zhu Lingshi and almost all Liu Yu's love generals, only Mao Xiuzhi surrendered, saved his life, so far, the results of the Northern Expedition were almost all lost, Liu Yu was furious after learning the news, and planned to go on another Northern Expedition, an official named Zheng Xianzhi persuaded him bitterly, Liu Yu thought about it carefully, and also felt that the Northern Expedition was not suitable now, so he gave up, and soon Duan Hong sent a letter, Liu Yu knew that his son was fine, and he had no idea of the Northern Expedition, but he went to the city to look north with tears.

In December 418, Emperor Sima Dezong of Jin An fell ill, and Liu Yu took this opportunity to kill Emperor Shaozhi of Jin An, and set up his younger brother Sima Dewen as emperor (the reason why Liu Yu set him up was because there was a proverb (prophecy) that "there are two emperors after Changming" Changming is the word of Sima Yao yào of Emperor Xiaowu of Jin, and the ancients believed in these superstitious things) changed Yuan to Yuan Xi, the first year of Yuan Xi, August 419, Liu Yujin was named the king of Song, in the first month of the following year, Liu Yu wanted to accept the Zen position but was embarrassed to say it directly, so he convened the ministers to feast and drink, in the banquet Liu Yu said: "Huan Xuan usurped the throne, the fate has been moved, I sang the first righteousness, revived the emperor's room, conquered the north and south, pacified the four seas, and succeeded, so he Jiuxi." This year will be in decline, Chongji is so, things are jealous, it is not a long time to be peaceful, and now I want to return the title and return to the old Beijing Division"

(When Huan Xuan usurped the throne, the fate of the Jin Dynasty has been transferred, Ding Ming, Ding represents the highest power, I took the lead in advocating righteousness, raised troops to restore the Jin Dynasty's royal family, the southern expedition to the north, pacified the four seas, has achieved meritorious deeds, and then received nine tin.) Now that I'm old, my status is so lofty, I've reached the limit, things are too taboo, so I can't be in peace for a long time, now I want to return the title, and retire in Beijing) The ministers didn't know what he meant, only praised his merits, and at the end of the evening banquet, after the Zhongshu ordered Fu Liang to leave the palace, he woke up, and immediately returned to the palace to meet Liu Yu, and only said: "The minister should return for the time being" (the minister should return to the capital immediately) Liu Yu also only said: "How many people do you need to send yourself?" Fu Liang said: "Dozens of people are also available!" So Fu Liang immediately returned to Jiankang to operate, in June, Liu Yu arrived in Jiankang, Fu Liang entered the palace, let Emperor Jin Gong copy the Zen edict prepared in advance, Emperor Jin Gong happily took a pen to write the edict, said to the left and right: "When Huan Xuan, the Jin family has no world, today the country and the King of Song, this institute is willing!" ”

(When Huan Xuan usurped the throne, the Jin Dynasty had already lost the world, and now it was willing to give up the country to the King of Song!) However, Liu Yu did not let him go, after Liu Yu ascended the throne, he was named the king of Lingling, and after more than a year, he sent someone to kill him) Subsequently, Liu Yu was the emperor in Jiankang, and changed the yuan to Yongchu, Liu Yu was the emperor for two years, and during this year, he issued a lot of decrees that were beneficial to the people, such as ordering tax reductions and exemptions, cutting redundant local officials in various places, reforming the harsh criminal law, restoring the school and examination system, and a series of measures played a positive role in the stability of the whole society. In the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the civil strife in the south continued, the people were displaced, and the people urgently needed a relaxed environment to recuperate.

On June 26, 422, Liu Yu died in the west hall of the palace, at the age of 59, the temple name was Gaozu, and the name was Emperor Wu, so he was generally called Emperor Wu of Song. After the order, Liu Yu was still not at ease, and he withdrew from the ministers and told Liu Yifu: "Tan Daoji has some talents and strategies, but after all, he is a martial artist and has no big ambitions.
