Chapter 279: Summer Begins

More than ten days later, another military report came from Fuyuan County. Liu Hu led his troops south to investigate, and was ambushed by the generals of Fuyuan who relied on the gourd to draw a scoop, pretending to be the army of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms. Although Liu Hu reacted quickly and flew away, he still suffered a lot of losses. At the end of Manchester City, Liu Hu was still shocked, angry and hateful, so he also wrote to Liu Cong, accusing Liu Yao of being domineering, and actually went to attack him from outside Cyprus, which is really unreasonable. So the two Liu, one south and one north scolded each other in the air, all inexplicable, and waited for a few months, until the end of October, to figure out the truth of the matter, it turned out that the Qin army had already taken over Xiahetao and other places, and all kinds of attacks before were planned and implemented by the Qin army in the north.

After Liu was stunned, he was extremely angry, so he decided to join forces to attack the Qin army and clear the northern part of the country first. Liu Cong of Pingyang was ordering Liu Chang of the clan to lead 30,000 cavalry to attack Xingyang, wanting to eliminate Li Ju, the Taishou of Xingyang of Jin, under this premise, Liu Cong only sent an army of 10,000 people, intending to enter the Hetao from Shanxi, in order to cooperate with the encirclement and suppression.

Gao Yue reacted immediately, first ordering Hu Song of Xinping and Yao Yizhong of Nan'an to divide into two ways to intercept and harass Liu Yao's army, and then make Yang Mao of Wudu search Yang Difficult to defeat his father and son, send troops to the east, and pose a posture of attacking Fufeng County; In the end, he repaired another letter, communicated with Liu Kun, the assassin of Bingzhou, so that he could contain the Pingyang army, and then said to Xianbei Tuoba on behalf of Guochen that he would send troops to attack Liu Hu's rear.

The three-pronged effect is immediate. Liu Yao's troops were constantly harassed by Hu Song, and when they turned their heads to fight, Hu Song immediately rushed away, so Liu Yao's troops were overwhelmed and tired, and were defeated by Yao Yizhong on the flank. And Yang Nandi led his troops out of the east and clashed with Chen An several times, although Yang Nandi could not advance, Chen An could not defeat the enemy. Liu Yao heard that the Wudu Yang clan came in a big way, and he was afraid that Fufeng would lose and shake Jingzhao, so he had no choice but to order the troops to withdraw from Saibei. The Pingyang army was originally echoing, but when Liu Yao withdrew his troops, he also returned from camp. When Liu Hu heard that his rear would be attacked, he had already turned his horse around, busy trying to maintain the fundamentals, but he was chased by Deng Heng and won a lot.

Liu Yao was full of hatred and anger, but the successive military defeats made him have to recover first. So after several tug-of-wars and firmly rejecting Liu Hu, the land of Xiahetao, as the sphere of influence of Qinzhou, was basically confirmed. Gao Yue took advantage of the victory, and then did not stop, and ordered the army and horses of Zhulu to gather in the north of Xinping, cross the Yellow River and prepare to attack Pingyang to save Sima Ye, the son of heaven, but because of the many disadvantages of in-depth combat, he gave up after plundering.

In December of the fifth year of Jianxing (317 AD), in addition to Qinzhou itself, many of the departments that had been watching from the sidelines also surrendered one after another, and served Gaoyue as the mainstay. Therefore, Xiahetao was quickly settled, and the land of the four counties was newly developed, and tens of thousands of displaced households were recruited, allocated land and farm tools, and areas were set aside for settlement in batches. He also recruited strong and strong soldiers from them, and then inspected and selected capable people to serve as officials at all levels for better governance.

In view of this, Gao Yue decided to establish a state on the spot. After discussion, with Jingbian City as the capital, Xiazhou was formally established in the land of the five counties of Xiahetao, and Han Yong, the general of Pingdong, was transferred to Xiazhou to assassinate the history, and concurrently supervised the military of Xiazhou. Promoted to Longxi Taishou Pei Shu as the governor of Xia, Yang Tao was promoted to the rear general, appointed as the protector of Xiazhou, Deng Heng was promoted to the general of the captivity, as the deputy protector of Xiazhou, Bao Chong was appointed as the state classicist, and Cao Mo was also sent to serve as a chauffeur in Xiazhou, specializing in agricultural affairs. At the same time, Xie Ai and Yao Xiang also stayed in Xiazhou.

Time flies, and the New Year is in a blink of an eye. On the second day of the first month of February, Ji Yunshu gave birth to a son, Gao Yue was overjoyed, and Qinzhou was also jubilant. Yang Ke was the leader, and all the civil and military forces asked him to become the son, Gao Yue readily agreed, and asked Yang Ke to name the son. Yang Ke didn't think about it, and opened his mouth to say the word 'all'.

Seeing that this name was not to follow the spectrum, nor to quote the scriptures, Gao Yue was very strange, so he asked Yang Ke in public why. Yang Ke smiled meaningfully, and only said that he would dismantle the word 'whole' and read it.

Everyone suddenly realized, and secretly said that Yang Ke had a deep meaning, and it was like this. Gao Yue's eyes flashed, he looked directly at Yang Ke, and he muttered for a long time, but finally nodded in agreement.

Immediately after that, a murderous message came out from Pingyang, the emperor Sima Ye was killed, Lu Yun committed suicide in grief and anger, and Suo Qi was beheaded by Liu Cong for disloyalty. Earlier, in the Central Plains, Henan, Hebei and other vast areas, the people rebelled in all directions, and they were disturbed one after another, all with the slogan of welcoming and returning Sima Ye, which caused the Han Kingdom to boil. Liu Cong's crown prince Liu Cang persuaded Liu Cong to kill Sima Ye, and with overwhelming expectations, Liu Cong said that he had killed Sima Chi, Emperor Huai of Jin, in the past, but the world is still up and down, so the sin is not on Sima Ye, and he will observe for a while. But later, even in Pingyang City, there were more and more people who wept and wept when they saw Sima Ye, and they hugged and cried, so Liu Cong finally determined his heart to kill Sima Ye.

On the seventh day of the second lunar month, Sima Ye was killed by Liu Cong's order in Pingyang, and the murderous letter came, and the world mourned. People miss Sima Ye, not that he is a wise and martial king, but because Sima Ye is ordinary and weak, in the wild waves of the world's downfall, he supports a lonely boat, tries his best to continue the incense of the Han family, and struggles to the last moment.

In the desperate situation of holding on to Chang'an for several years and cutting off food and materials for many days, even if Sima Ye surrendered to the enemy in order to avoid the burning of jade, he first sent Song Zhe to Jiangnan to pass the edict to Sima Rui, so that he would not humiliate Sheji if he surrendered again. After he was captured, he did not recruit Jin ministers, did not serve the enemy country, and did not have all kinds of shameless faces, so he was respected and remembered by the remnants of the Jin Dynasty and the people. After Sima Rui, the king of Langya, received the edict, he also kept calling him the regent of the king of Jin, and did not immediately replace Sima Ye as the emperor to show his respect. Most of the Jin people who raised troops to fight against the Xiongnu in the Han Kingdom in the Central Plains were under the banner of Sima Ye, and the suffering people in all parts of the world struggled more and more.

After receiving the retribution, Gao Yue was grief-stricken, so sad that it was difficult to control himself, and Ji Yunshu mourned that Lu Yun was martyred, so he had the joy of being a son, and there was no trace of being washed away by the pain of losing the king. Gao Yue wore filial piety clothes, personally offered sacrifices, and ordered that in the territory of Qin and Xia, the state mourned the national funeral.

In March, the Jin Dynasty isolated in the north of the large and small feudal towns, led by Liu Kun, Liangzhou Mu, Zhang Yu, Qinzhou Mugaoyue, and Youzhou Muduan Pipan, a total of 180 people, sent a joint letter to Jiankang to persuade them.

In April, Sima Rui officially assumed the throne of the emperor, changed the Yuan to Taixing, and granted amnesty to the world. And rewarded the northern towns, among which Jin Feng Gaoyue was the great Sima, Shizhong, the capital governor of Qin, Yong, Xia and the three states of the military. Gao Yue received the governor and resigned from the post of honor for the third time. In the same month, the Xiongnu Han State Shi Le led a large-scale attack on the state, the Jin and the state pastor, the general Liu Kun did not listen to the advice of his subordinates, the whole army attacked to meet the enemy, the result of the ambush was defeated, and he had no choice but to go to the righteous brother Youzhou Duan Pipan, and the state fell.

In May, the Northeast Xianbei Duan fought infighting, and Duan Mobo defeated Duan Piyan to serve as Youzhou Mu and Da Shan Yu. Duan Mobo captured Liu Qun, the son of Liu Kun, the governor of the state, and treated him very favorably, and asked Liu Qun to write a secret letter to Liu Kun, inviting him to get rid of Duan Piyan together. Duan Piyan was therefore suspicious of Liu Kun, and on the eighth day of the first month, Duan Piyan was overbearing and hanged Liu Kun to death at the age of 48. The Eastern Jin Dynasty government did not dare to pay tribute to Liu Kun because of the strength of the Duan Dynasty, and there was no posthumous rehabilitation. After Liu Kun's death, he left behind the encouragement of smelling the chicken and dancing, and the tragic swan song of 'What does it mean to make steel and turn into finger wrapping softness'.

Although Liu Kun has a strong personality of love and luxury, and has both love and hatred, he was a banner of the Central Plains against the brutal Hu Lu at that time. Since he went deep behind enemy lines alone, he has worked hard to manage and merge states, persevering, and fighting year after year. Bingzhou is like an island in the vast ocean, providing a solid base for tens of millions of displaced people in the north, and inspiring more and more people to devote themselves to the struggle against foreign oppression without hesitation.

Hearing the news of Liu Kun's death, Gao Yue was very sad, regardless of the scruples of the court at that time, he actually moved the book to ask Duan Pipan with great righteousness, but Duan Pipan did not answer. Gao Yue publicly offered condolences for Liu Kun, and asked Jiankang for Liu Kun's grievances, but Sima Rui did not answer. Gao Yue was disappointed and resentful, so he had to temporarily gather his thoughts and make every effort to develop his own strength in the future.

The Jin Dynasty had a lot of major events on this side, and they were disturbed one after another, and the Han side also seemed to be a landslide. In August, Emperor Liu Cong of the Han Dynasty was seriously ill, and his foreign Qi Jin Zhun was the great Sikong, and the three kings of the clan were also ministers who took care of their lives, and they assisted each other. Soon, Liu Cong died, and the crown prince Liu Cang ascended the throne, posthumously proclaiming Liu Cong as Emperor Zhaowu, and the temple name Liezong.

During Liu Cong's reign, he implemented the division of Hu and Han, was cruel and tyrannical, and in the last few years, he was even more desolate in government and politics, only caring about indulging in lust. After the capture of Luoyang and Chang'an, and the complete destruction of the Western Jin Dynasty, although Liu Cong was nominally the co-lord of the Central Plains, with the rapid expansion of the territory, the local division also quickly formed, and the area ruled by the Han State was actually only a small part. But because of Liu Cong's prestige, all kinds of undercurrents surged and withheld it, but now once Liu Cong is dead, all contradictions, selfish desires, interests, etc., are like magma in a volcano, and they will erupt immediately.
