Early February 401 A.D

King Huan Xuan of Chu called the edict to relieve strictness, and was in charge of state affairs by himself, and was ordered to serve in the middle and the capital to supervise the Chinese and foreign military, prime ministers, Lu Shang Shushi, Yangzhou pastor, led the Xuzhou Assassin History, and added fake Huang Yue, Yu Bao advocacy, and 20 swords.

In the same month, the Yuanxing era name was abolished, the Longan era name was restored, and soon it was changed to the Yuan tycoon. Later, Huan Xuan made the prime minister and Jingjiang Xu Sanzhou Assassin History, with Huan Wei as Jingzhou Assassin History, Huan Xuan as Xu, Yan Erzhou Assassin History, Huan Shisheng as Jiangzhou Taishou, Bian Fanzhi as Danyang Yin, and Huan Qian as Shangshu Zuo Servant, and assigned Huan clan and cronies to serve in internal and external positions. He was appointed as the general of Pingxi, the governor of the Chinese and foreign military, the pastor of Yangzhou, and the assassin of Yuzhou. In addition, he added the dress of the crown, the green ribbon, increased the class of swords to sixty people, and the sword went to the palace, and the courtesy of not entering the court was praised.

The king of Chu listened to He Mu's suggestion, deposed the traitors, promoted the handsome and virtuous people, and showed the meaning of prosperity in the world.

Huan Xuan also tried to get rid of Liu Gaozhi, and first ordered him to be the Taishou of the Huiji, so that he was far away from Jingkou.

On the grounds that the queen disappeared, the king of Chu accused the Sima clan of being unpredictable and lax in defending the city, and also successively killed Wu Xingtai to guard Gao Su, Zhu Qianzhi, Gao Ping Xiang Zhu Langzhi, Liu Xi, Peng Chengnei Shi Liu Jiwu, Sun Wuzhong and other old generals of the Beifu army, in order to eliminate the Beifu army under the leadership of Liu Gaozhi.

In addition, the imperial court also wanted to posthumously discuss the exploits of Ping Sima Yuanxian, Yin Zhongkan, and Yang Yan, and respectively crowned the Duke of Yuzhang and the Duke of Guiyang, and transferred them to his son Huan Sheng and nephew Huan Jun. He also issued an edict to the whole country to avoid his father Huan Wen's name, and those with the same name and surname should change their names, and gave his biological mother the title of Mrs. Yuzhang.

Just as he was happily arranging his team, a quiet famine struck.

First from Xuzhou, because of several months of conquest, the grain of the entire state was supplied to the capital, even the last grain that the people relied on to survive, was swept away by the army, and then, the famine spread to Yangzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Jiangzhou, Guangzhou, countless people began to flee, starvation everywhere, miserable.

After the defeat of Liu Yu and Liu Yi, he retreated to Xuzhou at the same time, relying on Jingkou, organized the Beifu army to resist Liu Gaozhi, who was appointed shortly after, and won three battles and three victories.

At the same time, Huan Zhen was sent to lead troops to Jingkou to fight against the Xuzhou Beifu army, and the war broke out again, and the grain and grass were all collected.

And at this moment, the Qin lord Yao Xing attacked Houliang, and the soldiers turned south like a bamboo.

First, he forced the Eastern Jin Dynasty's Hongnong (now north of Lingbao County, Henan) and Huashan (now Huaxian County, Shaanxi) to annex to Shangluo (now Shangxian County, Shaanxi). After clearing some obstacles, Yao Xing ordered his brother Yao Chong and Zhendong general Yang Fosong to capture the ancient capital of Luoyang. Later Qin's army met with stubborn resistance from Xiahou Zongzhi, the Taishou of Henan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, under the city of Jintang, and failed to achieve results.

Kim Yong Kim is in the northwest corner of Luoyang, a small but solid city, which is an important place to attack and defend Luoyang. Yao Chongjiu was unable to capture it, so he turned east to sweep the Baigu Valley (now southeast of Yanshi, Henan) and moved more than 20,000 households in the surrounding area to Guanzhong. After that, Later Qin again ordered Yao Chong and Yang Fosong to lead an army to besiege Luoyang.

At this time, Xin Gongjing, the new Henan Taishou of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, held on to the infant city on the one hand, and sent people to Yongzhou for help. Under extremely difficult conditions, Xin Gongjing persevered for more than 100 days. However, Yongzhou's rescuers never appeared. Two months later, the city of Luoyang was breached by the Later Qin. The city of Luoyang was broken, and the influence was great, and many local forces north of the Huai River and the Han River were attached to Yao Xing.

Xin Gongjing, Xiahou Zong led more than 10,000 remnants of the army to cross the Huaishui, and collected the people in Yiyang County (now Xinyang) and Suijun (now Suizhou) to establish defenses.

Yang Fosong, the general of Zhendong of Qin, led 50,000 troops to cross the Huaishui, but was met with fierce resistance from the soldiers and people along the coast, and the troops were defeated and retreated.

In the middle of February, there was another rebellion against thieves in Jin'an County, this time the momentum was amazing, several pieces of music were reported to the court, and the king of Chu sent Xie Yu, the general of Zhengnan, to the territory to suppress it, and at the same time opened the national warehouse, how could it be a drop in the bucket, but still could not solve the terrible spread of famine.

The dynasty was crumbling, and the people were panicking

Xie Fu

Since the death of his mother, Xie Yu has been locking himself in the study, Qinglong is very busy these days, and he will sneak into the house on the second and third days to report the information coming from everywhere.

Spread out the hemp paper, summarizing the information, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but sneer.

Xie Ju was a little nervous beside him, especially when he saw that smile, he was even more panicked.

Xie Ying coughed slightly and said, "Young Master, there is not much grain in the village. ”

Xie Yu raised his head, put down the paper in his hand, and said without any expression on his solemn face: "I don't know how many people in the mansion can be brought to Jin'an County!" ”

"Young master, the patriarch should agree, and there is not much grain in the grange in our Huiji County." Xie Ju propped one hand on the table, scratched his eyebrows with his fingers and said.

"It's okay, the island is now worry-free, and the fleet to Yan and Wei has been out for a few days, and it will bring a large amount of food." Xie Yu fixed his eyes on the piece of paper and said.

Xie Ju and Xie Ying glanced at each other, and the eyes of the two iron-clad men were full of worry.

"Young master, nominally we are going to level the bandits, and taking so many people to walk will make the King of Chu jealous, and once the news leaks out, the lives of the people in the clan will not be guaranteed, and it will also affect the Yu Mansion!" Xie Ju had to follow for the longest time, and he endured it for a long time before he said it.

"Hmph~" Xie Yu sneered: "Three years, as long as it takes three years, I will recover all the debts owed to the Xie family!" ”

Xie Ying's face was full of worry and wanted to speak, but facing the young master, he still looked at it and didn't say anything.

"Just say what you have, the young master will always be your young master!" Xie Yu's mind was a little crazy, but there was still a trace of Qingning in his heart, a good means for the king of Chu, he killed Sima Yuanxian himself, so that he was now burdened with notoriety, and Xie Fu was also burdened with notoriety.

Those scholars and doctors criticized him for killing the general.

Why didn't anyone say that the general had kidnapped his mother and was forced to do it?

Are you blind? Blind? Thinking of this, the green tendons on his forehead burst out.

"Young master, our family has been wise for a hundred years, you can't go to justice for personal revenge, if you start an army, the family's reputation will not exist, and it will be stinking for 10,000 years!" Xie Ying finally said it.

"Slap" Xie Yu stood up excitedly, slapped the table and said hatefully: "It is natural for Sima Yuanxian to control the government? The king of Chu controls the government, so there are people attached to him? Who cares about the livelihood of this dynasty? Who cares how embarrassed the emperor is? The Sima clan killed each other, and the Huan clan was triumphant, did he let Xie Fu swallow his anger? ”

Xie Ying had never seen Xie Yu lose his temper, this was the first time, he was so frightened that he stood up and clenched his fists and knelt on one knee.

Xie Yu only felt dizzy, supporting the table with one hand and his forehead with the other, the whole person seemed to be evacuated, and the sound of golden ringing in his ears suddenly sounded.

Xie Ju looked at Xie Ying who was kneeling on the ground, looking at the young master, rubbing his hands back and forth nervously.

Xie Yu stepped forward to help Xie Ying, looked at the most loyal general with a look of grievance, patted the other party's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "The young master is not angry with you, this world is too unfair, don't worry about our lack of strength, Qinglong and Liu Ba are both in the city, there is a stir at any time, they will definitely save the family, this time, they will take away the young children and elders in the house." ”

Xie Ying looked at it in a daze for a while, and a determined look gradually appeared in his eyes and said, "Young Master, since you are absolutely willing, your subordinates will definitely swear to follow you to the death!" ”

Xie Ju stood up and clenched his fists, although he didn't speak, but at this moment, silence is better than sound.
