In the second year of Jin Yong*Kang (301), Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, usurped the throne and deposed Emperor Hui of Jin. Sima Jian, the king of Qi, crusaded against him, and many princes in the world responded. At that time, Sima Hao, the king of Hejian, guarded Chang'an and controlled Guanzhong, which was an important feudal town in the world.

Sima Hao misjudged the situation, and immediately arrested Sima Jian's envoy and sent him to Sima Lun, the king of Zhao. Sima Lun took advantage of the situation to recruit troops from Sima Hao, and Sima Hao sent his general Zhang Fang to lead the elite soldiers of Guan You to conquer the rebels.

Zhang Fang led his army eastward, and when he arrived at Huayin, his henchman Zhi Fu suggested that he wait and see. Zhang Fang listened, and sure enough, it didn't take long for Sima Hao to hear that the righteous army was strong, and hurriedly sent people to chase back Zhang Fang, in response to the rebellious kings.

Subsequently, Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, was killed, and Emperor Hui of Jin was reinstated. When discussing meritorious deeds, although Sima Yi, the king of Qi, expressed great anger at Sima Hao's disagreement with him at the beginning, and later at both ends of the rat, he still remembered that he could finally wake up and help the big things, and was promoted to Sima Hao as a servant and a lieutenant.

Politically profitable, Sima Hao was very happy. Zhang Yiyan said that thanks to Youzhifu's advice, he did not rush to attack the rebels, resulting in an irreparable situation. Sima Hao couldn't help but admire Zhi Fu's long-term vision and rewarded Zhi Fu again. As a result, Zhi Fu became increasingly prominent in Guanzhong and became an important member of the Sima Hao shogunate.

During this period, Zhi Fu had a distant cousin, named Zhi Ping, who was mediocre and less virtuous, had no talent, and was despised by everyone on weekdays.

Although the rank of the captain of the city gate is not high, he is in an important place and is in charge of the defense of the capital gate, which is extraordinary. Sima Hao considered that Zhi Ping was also a close person, so he should be more at ease, so he gave this important task to Zhi Ping, but unexpectedly laid the root of the curse.

After the rebellion was completed, Sima Hao and Sima Yi, the king of Qi, quickly turned their faces, and united with Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, Sima Xin, the king of Xinye, Sima Yu, the king of Fanyang, and Sima Yi, the king of Changsha, to attack Sima Yi. Sima Yi took the lead, attacked Luoyang, captured Sima Yi, wiped out the three tribes, and left the corpse in the wild.

Then the story is like a loop again, and Sima Hao and Sima Yi turn their faces again. Then the kings fought, and the chaos became more and more out of control. Sima Hao relied on the general Zhang Fang to repeatedly defeat strong enemies, and was in the limelight among the kings for a while. Zhang Fang once entered the imperial capital Luoyang, and the soldiers burned and looted, and Luoyang was empty.

At that time, Zhi Ping followed behind Zhang Fang, let go of the sweep, unscrupulous, and high-spirited.

In the second year of Yongxing (305), Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, relied on the three kings of his brothers, and Wang Jun, the assassin of Youzhou, and soon formed a powerful military force to crusade against Sima Hao of Chang'an. Sima Hao took Zhang Fang as the governor and sent troops to resist.

Soon after, Sima Hao was afraid of the enemy's strong forces, and he heard rumors that Zhang Fang was going to betray him, so he secretly ordered Zhi Fu to assassinate Zhang Fang. Zhang Fang regarded Zhi Fu as a confidant, so he was completely defenseless against him, and was finally killed by Zhi Fu easily.

Sima Hao immediately sent Zhang Fang's head to Sima Yue to ask for reconciliation, but Sima Yue refused, and waved his army to Chang'an. Sima Hao's generals, seeing that they were as noble as the general Zhang Fang, were inevitably killed, and they all had the meaning of the death of a rabbit and a fox, and had no intention of resisting; Sima Hao hurriedly killed Zhi Fu again to appease the generals, but it was too late.

Zhiping sneaked to Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, and was willing to respond internally, with the convenience of the captain of the city gate, open the gate of Chang'an, Sima Hao was finally defeated, fled from Chang'an alone, and was killed by Sima Yue's own brother, Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang.

In a word, if you fall short, you will become a king and lose a villain.

In the first year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty (307), Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang, was the elder brother Sima Yue, who controlled the government, and was appointed as the general of the expedition to the west, the opening of the mansion, and the governor of Qin Yongliang and the military of the four states, and guarded Chang'an.

Sima Hao and his three sons were killed. But because Zhi Ping was an internal response, after the fall of Chang'an, he followed Sima Yue to flatter and pat the horse, wave the flag and shout, do some stragglers who intercepted and killed Sima Hao, and persuaded his former colleagues to surrender and other corner work.

Sima Yue thought that Zhi Ping was not a hardcore personal follower in Sima Hao's group, and he had some slight credit, but he was afraid of his behavior of opening the city gate privately as a captain of the city gate, so he sent Zhi Fu to stay with Sima Mo and return to Beijing.

Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang, also had no good impression of Zhi Ping, thinking that he was the cousin of Zhi Fu, the number one mastermind in Zhang Fang's army, and it would be very troublesome if he recruited the old department and repeated it. So how to deal with Zhi Ping, kill or not, is a little uncertain for a while.

Zhi Ping heard some rumors and knew that Sima Mo was not a good person, so he hurriedly ran to Sima Mo's mansion, knelt and swore that he was willing to break off with the Zhi family, and only serve the king in this life.

Sima Mo was not ashamed of Zhiping's character, but he also put his mind at ease with him, and thought that he really killed him, and he was afraid that no one would dare to surrender to his brother in the future, so he didn't take Zhiping's head.

But after all, he didn't look down on Zhiping, so he rewarded him with a seven-grade county order to do it, and received the rank of cavalry captain, and became a building owner with 500 subordinates, and sent him to Yongdeng County, Jincheng County, the northernmost frontier, a remote and cold and barren land, to take office.

Zhi Ping's five bodies threw himself to the ground, and he thanked Sima Mo with tears. With 500 men and horses, he stopped and watched all the way, and saw that Sima Mo did not recall him for reappointment, so he walked to Shouyang County, Qinzhou, and really didn't want to go anymore.

On the one hand, he wrote to Sima Mo, saying that Yongdeng County in northern Xinjiang was far away, and in the border area under the jurisdiction of the brutal and tyrannical Tiefu Zahu tribe, and now it was actually controlled by the Zhang clan in Liangzhou, and he was weak and weak, and he was afraid that he would not be able to control it, so as to damage the reputation of the king. And he was hungry and cold all the way, lacking food and clothing, it was difficult to continue, and his subordinates kept dying, which was extremely pitiful.

It was easy to come to Shouyang County, but there was a county order to blackmail and blackmail, and was whipped by the county order, some passers-by were indignant, injured the county order, and caused him to die, and he was retained by the people of the county.

On the other hand, he bribed the officials heavily, went to the mansions of Ding Xuan, the prince of Longxi, Sima Bao, the prince of Nanyang, and the Jingguan of Chang'an, gritted his teeth and sent the gold, silver and satin silks that had been looted and accumulated in Luoyang, humble and generous coins, and humble words.

Sima Mo got retribution, and he also knew that Zhiping was mostly. However, Guanzhong and Longshang Fuding, the world's major events are chaotic, there are Chenghan and Qiuchi in the south, and Liangzhou in the west, all of which are the forces that dominate one side; There is an undying enemy in the Kanto region, such as the Xiongnu and the Han Kingdom, and at this time, it is not enough to try to do things in the world.

Sima Mo disdains and doesn't have the kung fu at all, and pays attention to such trivial things. Seeing that Zhi Ping said that he was humble and flattering, and that there was Sima Bao, the son of the world, and advised him left and right, he ordered Zhi Ping to serve in Shouyang County.

Longxi County is too shou Ding Xuan, who is also a monk for a day and hits the clock for a day, and has the benefits of Zhiping's solid work, and sees that Sima Mo does not deal with it, so he is happy to close his eyes and seal his mouth to be a mud bodhisattva, it's good to have money, Zhiping kills the official and occupies the city, and closes my bird business?

So Zhiping officially became the lord of Shouyang County. Because the county order died innocently under the knife, Zhi Ping felt that this name was unlucky, and he didn't want to be called the county commander anymore, so he called himself the city lord.

Zhi Ping served in Shouyang County, and only brought 500 soldiers, and recruited nearly 200 people on the road. Some of the old colleagues and veteran soldiers in the past were all disorganized or beheaded by Sima Yue.

There were no more than 700 soldiers. Zhiping decided to recruit troops and expand his own power. Although Sima Yue only made him the master of the building, and there could only be a maximum of five or six hundred soldiers under his command, but the emperor was far away, and the big guy had his own big guy's business, and he wouldn't care about his little sesame head.

Soon after, Emperor Huai of Jin could no longer tolerate the arbitrariness of Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, and made Gou Xi, the general of Zhengdong, the general, a general, and issued a charge against Sima Yue, demanding that all parties crusade. After Sima Yue heard this, he died of a bloody heartbeat.

Unexpectedly, less than half a year later, Luoyang was broken by the Xiongnu Han State, Emperor Huai of Jin was captured, Chang'an was also breached, Sima Mo died, and the emperor was destroyed, and it turned into smoke in a blink of an eye.

Zhi Ping heard that the new monarch Sima Ye had ascended the throne in Chang'an, and he was busy celebrating and showing his loyalty. At this time, the Western Jin Dynasty court was already dying, the decree was almost out of Chang'an, seeing that there were officials on the table, they issued an edict to comfort them, and promoted Zhiping to the captain of loyalty and righteousness, allowing a battalion of two buildings, 1,000 troops, after receiving the edict, immediately recruit troops, and go east to King Qin.

Listening to what the Li family brothers said, Gao Yue was suspicious: "Many of these statements involve the privacy of the city lord of Nazhi, can they be guaranteed?" ”

Before Li Hu could answer, Li Bao patted his chest and responded: "These things are basically known to everyone in the county. The city lord himself often boasted about his extraordinary experience in public, showing off his relationship with the king of the East China Sea back then, and he never shy away from mentioning it to others. I've heard him even say publicly that no matter where a hero comes from, it's better to die than to live. ”

"These two sentences don't match at all, I really don't know what to do." When Gao Yue heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

Li Hu thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "When the second child said this, I thought about it, and I don't know if it's true or not." It is said that the Zhicheng Lord and his subordinate team leader Pan Wu are both okay on the surface, but in fact they are wary of each other, and even say that they want to get rid of each other and hurry up. The city lord of Zhicheng is now recruiting troops by himself, and I am afraid that he also has the intention of suppressing Pan Wudu. ”

"Is Boss Li talking about recruiting soldiers in the county? I said, don't count on it. ”

As everyone was talking, they were interrupted by this sound, and they all followed the voice, and saw a person greeting them while walking, and they had come to everyone.

This person Gao Yue also recognized, his name was Gong Fu, sixteen years old, slender and long, with a delicate face, but he was damaged by two eight-character eyebrows, which made his whole person with a sense of frustration, between words and deeds, his eyebrows habitually stirred, and his expression looked weird, which made people laugh.

The little blessing that Li Bao and Feng Liang said about giving leopard meat in their mouths before was him.
