Chapter 48: The Sorrowful Week (1)

After the meeting, Sima Ya just walked into the hall of the back house and saw the beautiful green beads, because Empress Jia had been dragging the prince's wedding not to be held, there was no way Sima Shu had to put the green beads into the room first. After years of recuperation, the green beads have become more brilliant and charming, as bright as blooming roses, and delicate as Xiaolu hibiscus.

Sima Shu was enthusiastic for a moment and hurriedly walked in. Lu Zhu, who was talking to the maid, turned her head when she heard the sound and quickly stood up and shouted: "Your Highness! ”

Seeing the beautiful woman standing in front of him like this, Sima Shu took the other party's little hand with excitement for a while, ready to "narrate his feelings". Sima Shu affectionately picked up the green bead and pulled the other party into his arms. At this time, the surrounding maids disappeared automatically, and they did not dare to disturb the prince's good deeds.

"You've worked hard during this time, but fortunately, the things for the expedition are ready, and you can rest with peace of mind."

Recently, Lu Zhu has been helping Sima Shu with his expeditions, and he hasn't had a good rest for a long time.

Sima Shu and Lu Zhu exchanged a few words of homely things, and saw Lu Zhu sitting there with a tired face, his eyes slightly closed, and his sitting body swaying.

"Luzhu, you're too tired, go back and rest early." Sima Shu said lovingly.

"Hmm......" Luzhu woke up suddenly, quickly sat up straight, and lowered his head embarrassedly.

Looking at the shy and timid beauty, Sima Shu hugged each other, and without waiting for Luzhu to react, he hugged no one in his arms and walked towards the bedroom.

whispered affectionately in Luzhu's ear: "Lady has worked hard, come, let the husband reward you well!" ”

Lu Zhu couldn't help but show her face red, her pretty eyes turned, her starry eyes slanted, her beautiful eyes flowed forward, and she said coquettishly: "You idiot!" ”

Sima Shu saw the beauty in his arms, her face was full of reluctance, her eyes flowed, and her indescribable charm was infinite, and she couldn't help but move in her heart, leaning down and kissing the slightly trembling cherry lips.

Just as Sima Shu was in full swing to mobilize troops and prepare to enter Guanzhong, the situation in Guanzhong further deteriorated.

Compared with his younger brother Sima Lun, Sima Wei, the king of Liang, is not much stronger. This prince and nobleman with fine clothes and food does not seek fame and fame, and he is not afraid of punishment when he retreats.

The so-called "graceful and noble relatives, not greedy for merit, and not afraid of crime." "It is simply the Lord who has not achieved enough and has more than he has failed!

If the imperial court had sent capable ministers to quell the rebellion at the beginning, it would never have allowed the Di rebels to grow bigger. Just when the imperial court was still arguing with each other over the Huqiang rebellion, Qi Wannian, the commander of the Di tribe, had already taken the opportunity to grow and grow, and the rebels continued to expand like a snowball. As far as the eye can see, the Guanzhong area is full of anti-rebellion. Even the defeated Jin army failed to stop Qi Wannian's rebels, and Xie himself suffered defeat.

The Hu rebels won one after another, stimulating the Xiongnu and Qiang people in Guanzhong, who were still waiting, and they also joined the Di rebel army.

After the victory over the system, the Huns Hao Duyuan and others contacted the commanders of various departments and recommended the powerful Qi Wannian to deal with the Jin Dynasty together. Qi Wansheng took the Longshan area as the center after the incident, and the six counties of Tianshui, Luoyang, Fufeng, Shiping, Wudu, Yinping, and Qiang responded one after another.

In August of the same year, Qi Wannian proclaimed himself emperor and marched north to besiege Jingyang (northwest of Pingliang City, Gansu Province).

Since most of the Xiongnu were concentrated in Shanxi, the Qiang who lived in Qinlong may have been the majority in numbers, which may have been an important reason why Hao Duyuan was king of Qi Wannian.

Speaking of the Di people, during the Three Kingdoms period, most of the Di people lived in Wudu, Yinping, Tianshui, Longxi, Nan'an, Guangwei, Fufeng and Jiuquan counties, but they were by no means limited to these few places.

In the Jin Dynasty, in addition to the old settlement areas of Wudu County, Longxi County, Yinping County and other places, some counties in Guanzhong and Longyou formed a staggered and mixed settlement area with the Han people and other ethnic groups: one is Jingzhao, Fufeng, Shiping three counties, especially Fufeng County, concentrated in Yong (now southwest of Fengxiang County, Shaanxi Province), Meiyang (northwest of Wugong County, Shaanxi Province), (southeast of Longxian County, Shaanxi Province), Huang Elk (now east of Qianyang County, Shaanxi Province) and other counties. The second is the three counties of Tianshui (now Tianshui City, Gansu Province), Nan'an (southeast of present-day Longxi County), and Luoyang (southeastern of present-day Qin'an County) in Longyou.

Among them, the most famous ones such as Luoyang Pu (Fu) and LΓΌ Di have all migrated from Wudu. By the time of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, when the Di people were strong, the population was nearly one million.

The people of Diqiang are accustomed to "being strong and being divided into chieftains, and being weak are subordinate to others, and they are even more violent." "Moreover, the Di people are engaged in agriculture and mixed with the Han people, and they have a high level of education.

In November 296, that is, 3 months after the defeat of the Xie Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty Emperor Sima Zhen issued an edict and officially appointed Zhou Chu as the general of Jianwei, and followed the Zhenwei general Lu Bo, subordinate to the Anxi general Xiahou Jun and the Liang king Sima Tong, to jointly crusade against Qi Wannian.

Around, the word is hidden. "The World Speaks New Language, Self-Renewed", only one story is recorded, that is, the story of Zhou Chu: When Zhou Chu was young, he was fierce and strong, his arm strength was overwhelming, and his surname was angry, and he was considered a big scourge by the villagers. There is a dragon in the river of Yixing, and there is a white-fronted tiger on the mountain, and the people call them the three evils, and the three evils are the worst around.

Some people persuaded Zhou everywhere to kill the tiger and the dragon, in fact, hoping that only one of the three scourges remained. He went up the mountain and killed the tiger, and then went down to the river to kill the dragon. The dragon floated in the water, and the dragon floated and sank dozens of miles away. After three days and three nights, the local people thought that Zhou Zhi had died, and they celebrated each other.

As a result, Zhou finally killed Jiaolong and went ashore. When he heard that the villagers were celebrating him with the mistaken thought that he was dead, he realized that he was also a great scourge.

So, Zhou Chu repented and went to Wu County to find Lu Ji and Lu Yun, Lu Ji was not there at that time, only Lu Yun was seen, and said that he wanted to correct his mistakes and improve his cultivation, but he was worried that he was too old and would not achieve anything in the end.

Lu Yun said: "The ancients cherished morality, and once said that if you hear the Tao, you can die at night, and there is still hope for your future." And people are afraid that they will not be able to set their aspirations, and as long as they can make up their minds, why should they worry that their good reputation will not be revealed? ”

Since then, he has been inspirational and studious, loyal and benevolent in speech and demeanor, and after entering the Jin Dynasty, he was appointed as the Taishou of Xinping (now Bin County, Shaanxi), loved the people like a son, and was appointed as the middle of the imperial history, loyal and selfless, and showed no mercy to the powerful and wealthy who broke the law. Sima Wei, the king of Liang, once broke the law, and Zhou was selfless and resolutely impeached, which also offended King Liang.

When the report of the defeat of the Xie system came, some ministers in the court who had been punished by Zhou Chu united with King Liang to get Zhou Chu out of the central court, so everyone recommended Zhou Chu to crusade against Qi Wannian, and the royal reason was to say: "Zhou Chu is the son of a famous general of Wu State, loyal and resolute, and can be a general." ”

Zhou also knew that Sima Wei, the king of Liang, would frame him, and he would definitely be unlucky if he went. However, he thought that the ministers should enter the festival, and said with great righteousness: "How can loyalty and filial piety be both!" Since they have said goodbye to their relatives and served the king, how can their parents still have this son? Today is the time for me to die for my country. Regardless of the dissuasion of relatives and friends, he resolutely led his troops into the customs.

In November 296, Sima Wei, the king of Liang Xiao, led his army to Haoqi (2 miles southeast of Haoqi Village, 8 miles east of Qianxian County, Shaanxi Province, belonging to the Fufeng Kingdom), preparing to attack Qi Wannian. Qi Wannian's troops and Sima Wei's troops of the Jin Dynasty faced off near Qianxian County, Shaanxi. Qi Wannian's troops were stationed in Liangshan in the northwest of Qianxian County, and the Jin Dynasty troops were stationed in Haoqi in the southeast of Qianxian County.

At this time, Zhou arrived at the Jin army camp with 5,000 vanguard troops, and King Liang personally greeted him outside the gate. Zhou looked at King Liang who was smiling and groaning, although he hated the other party very much, but when he thought of serving under the other party in the future, he only had to suppress the discomfort in his heart and kneel down on one knee to salute.

"The last general, meet King Liang and General Xiahou!"

"The general is invited, it has been a long time since the arrival of the general, the general served in Guanzhong back then, who doesn't know the general Huwei? Hehe, the widow believes that as soon as the general arrives, the rebels will flee in despair! King Liang's mouth was like smearing honey, and he praised the surroundings to the sky.

Xiahou Jun, the general of Anxi, knew King Liang's thoughts, and he was just holding Zhou Zhi now, but he was going to send him to death later. Since he knew that Zhou was the vanguard officer, Sima Tong, the king of Liang, had been standing still, just waiting for the arrival of Zhou.

"The prince has won the prize! I don't know how the prince arranged our army? ”

"Hehe, the general is really refreshing, this king was ordered to exterminate the rebels, but unfortunately these rebels are too cunning, we have been confronting each other for more than a month, and we wanted to induce the other party to attack, but who knew that they were not fooled. Just now, the widow discussed with General Anzai, and felt that it was not a way to wait like this, and he had to take the initiative to attack. However, none of the king's men can match the general's bravery, so if the general does not mind, please immediately send troops to attack the rebels, and the king will follow up to support. ”

Zhou Chu is a straight surname, even if he is not happy with King Liang, he will not joke about national affairs. But King Liang is not so kind, he wants to kill Zhou Zhi in order to repay the hatred at the beginning. For this reason, he did not hesitate to bury 5,000 innocent soldiers.

Zhou Chu listened to King Liang's words and knew that the other party was uneasy and kind, so he had to tactfully dissuade him, "Lord Wang, the minister has just arrived in Guanzhong from the Central Plains, and the soldiers are a little sleepy, can you wait a few days?" ”

"No! This king has been waiting for a long time, today is the best time to attack the rebels, the general does not need to say much, with the general's bravery, he can be captured! ”

No matter how Zhou tried to defend him, King Liang and Xiahou Jun never agreed to change the general order, and Zhou had no choice but to attack with 5,000 soldiers from his headquarters. Before leaving, Zhou Chuqing sincerely told King Liang: "I am alone in the depths, if there is no follow-up army, defeat is certain, and it is not a pity for me to die, mainly because it will bring humiliation to the country." I hope that His Royal Highness will not abolish the public because of personal enmity, and send troops to rescue as soon as possible! ”

King Liang promised well on the surface, but in fact, he had already ordered that no one should send troops to rescue Zhou without permission, and at the same time, he also secretly sent his henchmen to the rebel Qi Wannian to report the news.
