Sima Shu was a little hesitant about how to use Liu Kun, but in the end he felt that the staff officer was more in line with Liu Kun's character, so he transferred Liu Kun to the Military Affairs Department. Liu Kun was also very satisfied with this, because he could finally see his brother Zu Ti again, and this was the first time they had met in nearly ten years.

In the original history, Zu Ti and Liu Kun, one south and one north, were the two brightest stars in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty.

Liu Kun is a native of Weichang, Zhongshan, and Zu Ti is a native of Fan Yangxuan, in today's words, one of them is from Dingzhou and the other is from Laishui.

In the most glorious later stage of their lives, they are also one south and one north, and they do not see each other in life, and they move like participating in business.

But at that time, the air conditioner was changed, and Liu Kun was in the north, in Bingzhou, and in Youzhou; Zu Ti is in the south, in Xuzhou, in Yuzhou.

They are friends, they appreciate each other, they think of each other, and they can illuminate hearts in dark times.

is also a hero in troubled times, and Zu Ti became famous later than Liu Kun.

Zu Ti was born in 266 A.D., Liu Kun was 5 years old, and he still didn't know the book at the age of fourteen or fifteen, which was a bit incredible in the ancestral family of "two thousand stones, the old surname of Beizhou", his father was gone, and his brothers were often worried about this somewhat different brother.

Zu Ti's special is also manifested in being light and wealthy, generous and frugal; Every time he went to the farmhouse, he scattered the grain and silk to help the poor, and said that this is the meaning of the brothers, "the township party clan is important".

Cha Xiaolian and show off talent are good things that cannot be sought by ordinary people, and everyone is happy when it falls on their heads, but the outstanding young ancestor who has the world in mind has no interest at all.

In many ways, Zu Li is different from Liu Kun after the royal family. But the difference is not equal to the distance. They met and met in the position of the chief secretary of Sizhou, Liu Kun "has vertical and horizontal talents, good friends better than himself", and they quickly developed from an ordinary colleague relationship to a sympathetic relationship.

The secretary of the Zu Ti Expo, who should be involved in the past and the present, has the talent of the world, and the care and care of Liu Kun, who is 5 years younger, can be said to be one hundred and one. They sleep together, smell the chickens and dance, care about the world, and every time they sit up in the middle of the night, they will encourage each other: "If the four seas are boiling, and the heroes rise together, I and my feet should avoid each other in the Central Plains."

After that, due to different life interests and life choices, a pair of inseparable friends separated.

The chaotic times are really coming.

None of them kept their promises and avoided each other in the Central Plains.

It's been a long, long time since we didn't see each other. The endless chaos has also cut off each other's information for a long, long time. But they still think about each other, and they still think about the old things that happened between the two of them more than 20 years ago.

In 307 A.D., Liu Kun went north and merged with the state, and then "from the north of the river, secluded and south, the ugly ones have some concerns, only Kun".

He is no longer one of the twenty-four friends of the year, and he is no longer the Liu Kun who dances and writes, and his heroic image is unprecedentedly tall. From the inside to the outside, he is a fire, the blood flowing in his body has never cooled with age, and the enthusiasm to serve the country has never cooled, it has always been boiling;

Commanding the army is not his forte, his forte is writing poems and essays, but since he has chosen a thorny and treacherous road to join the army, no matter how hard and difficult it is, Liu Kun will go on, and he will not turn back if he does not win.

Zu Ti also went to the battlefield. He originally wanted to find a pure place, so he refused the recruitment of Sima Yu, the king of Fanyang, and others, and the appointment of Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea. However, there is no choice in troubled times, and troubled times will not leave him alone with a pure place.

He ended up on the battlefield.

In June 311 AD, the city of Luoyang fell. Zu Ti led hundreds of pro-party families to take refuge in the Huaisi area. The journey was difficult, and he walked on foot without riding a car or horse. He gave his cart and horse to the elderly and sick with him, and shared medicine and food and clothing with everyone. He was also powerful and able to establish prestige among young and old, so the team elected him as the leader.

Sima Rui, who was outstanding in Jiangzuo, also took a fancy to him and appointed him as the assassin of Xuzhou and the military advisor. He overthrew the society and always had the ambition of recovery, and his guests were all fierce warriors, and he treated them equally and met them like children.

In August 313 A.D., Zu Ti led the Zujia army to cross the river to the north, and the boat reached the middle stream, and he swore that Zu Ti could not clear the Central Plains and restore the people, like the great river.

Zu Ti's words were magnificent, and everyone sighed. After Liu Kun, who was far away in the north, heard about it, he excitedly said to his relatives: "I will wait for the Dan, and I will rebel against the captive, and I am often afraid that my ancestors will be whipped first."

One south and one north, they echo each other with their actions and hearts, do they all remember the old things that smelled chickens and danced more than 20 years ago?

Victory in military struggles depends not only on the outside, but also on the inside, and Zu Ti understands this. He was a general of Fenwei and a history of assassination in Yuzhou, but Sima Rui only gave 1,000 people and 3,000 pieces of cloth, not armor, so that he could recruit on his own.

He didn't care.

Northern Expedition, he was not afraid of starting from scratch. If he has no weapons, he will smelt them. With few soldiers, he tried to grow stronger. In the struggle against the enemy, he has superb tactics and flexible means, or divides and disintegrates, or fights and pulls at the same time, and either fights or destroys. He showed outstanding military command qualities.

War often became supernatural in the hands of Zu Ti. His soldiers were even in the same city as the enemy soldiers, who went in and out of the south gate to graze, and his soldiers who opened the east gate and stayed together for forty years.

For the captives, Zu Ti was also benevolent and generous, taking in those who wanted to stay, and repatriating those who did not want to stay. "If this person is the master, I will die without hatred", he can convince people and make people feel dignity and grace. His rewards and punishments are clear, "his merits are small, and the reward is not exceeded."

He also "bowed to himself, advised the peasants, self-denial, did not give up his own assets, worked hard for his children, and paid wages", and his virtues and personality charms influenced his surroundings everywhere and at all times. He "collected and buried the dry bones and sacrificed for them", the people were pleased, and they sneezed and sang for him, "Fortunately, Li was spared from captivity, Sanchen met his father, and he forgot to work hard and was sweet, why sing and dance".

The battlefield is cruel, but people's hearts can show the sun and the moon. He treated the people as a people, and the people treated him as a parent.

The Northern Expedition won the hearts of the people and won successes.

Zu Ti "lover corporal, although the friendship is lowly, they are all kind and courteous, from the south of the Yellow River to the Jin soil".

It won the hearts of the people like this, and Liu Kun, who was fighting in the north, couldn't help but praise Zu Weide.

Liu Kun is brave, and his personal strength is also strong. The enemy was surrounded by several times, and the city was embarrassed and helpless, and by the moonlight, he climbed the tower to clear the howl, and the enemy soldiers listened to it and sighed sadly. In the middle of the night, he played the mustache again, and when the enemy heard it, he was sobbing and sobbing, and his nostalgia for his homeland became more and more urgent.

Defeating enemy soldiers with the power of one person like Liu Kun is close to legend.

It was difficult for him to achieve the achievements of his ancestors, and their personal circumstances were very different depending on the circumstances in which he lived.

Good at caressing, short of control, "in one day, although thousands of people return, those who go one after another", this is Liu Kun's difference; "Luxurious, lustful, although temporarily self-motivated, but indulgent", this is still the fatal difference that Liu Kun cannot escape.

He should not appoint Xu Run, a native of Henan who is "pampered and arrogant, and interferes in administration", as the Jinyang Order, and should not mistakenly kill Hu Sheng, who is a powerful military protector who is straightforward, and should not listen to his mother's "can't carry forward the scriptures, drive heroes, and focus on winning oneself to self-safety".

Sima Ye ascended the throne, worshiped General Liu Kun, and supervised the state military. The big and empty title has little practical effect, but it is enough for Liu Kun to fly over, drink tears, cry blood, and sigh.

He sighed that "the soldiers must not be disarmed, and the people must not be in the wilderness", and also sighed that he was alone with Kou, not only to deal with Liu Cong in front of him, but also to prevent Shi Le's attack from behind, "advance and retreat only valley, head and tail are embarrassed" is his sober understanding of the living environment, in such a harsh environment, he "is indignant, unable to do what he wants, ashamed of the camp, and heartbroken."

sighed and suffered, Liu Kun was still full of fighting spirit, and he told Sima Ye that he and Liu Cong and Shi Le were not together, and he was "no return"; Akigu is on board, Huma is fat, and once he is in battle, he will take the lead.

But this is a lone army, a lone army fighting behind enemy lines.

He is the leader of this lone army. Nominally, he can supervise the military of the three states, but the nominal thing is unreliable. "The public is favored by the world, the position of the most popular minister, loyalty, righteousness and sincerity, and the essence of heaven and earth. It is difficult to rely on long-term planning and mutual assistance. The north and south are very different, the same deed is the same, thousands of miles away, and the heart is close at hand. The public Fu Ning Huarong will be punished for the ugly class"...... Such greetings can soothe people's hearts, but they cannot save the real defeat.

In the winter of 316 A.D., Liu Kun, who was defeated by Shile's ambush, was poor and could not return to the state, so he accepted the invitation of Duan Pipan, a person from Xianbei in Youzhou, and arrived in Youzhou by means of Feihukou.

In June 317 A.D., Zu Ti fought Shile in the south. Liu Kun was in the north and also wanted to gather troops to attack Shile, but he was controlled by others and could not do it.

In March of the following year, Sima Rui, on whom Zu Ti and Liu Kun pinned their hopes, officially assumed the throne of the emperor.

At this time, Liu Kun, who was in Duan Piyan's army, had no chance to repay. He and Duan Piyan used to be "very respectful and about brothers", but at this time there was no trust between them, and Liu Kun became a prisoner.

"I sighed on my pillow in the middle of the night, and I wanted to swim with the number of children...... Before the work was built, the sunset flowed in the west. When the time is not with me, go like a cloud. Zhu Shi fell into the strong wind, and the prosperity fell in the autumn. What does it mean to refine the rigidity and turn it into a soft finger"

Liu Kun knew that he would die, so he gave Lu Chen a gift for the five-word poem.

Receiving the favor of the country, can not be repaid, "although it is slightly inferior, but also by this bad luck", people who do not die, die life, "but hatred and shame do not snow, there is no second ear to see the ear".

In May 318, 48-year-old Liu Kun and four of his nephews were killed at the same time.

The hero is lost, all things are sad, when did Zu Ti hear Liu Kun's murderous news? There is still one male left. Zu Ti is still there, and Shi Le does not dare to peep into Henan.

Awe. So the struggle became another way.

Shi Le sent people to repair the cemetery for Zu Li's mother, and wrote a letter to Zu Li asking for an envoy to hand over the city. Zu Ti did not report the book, listened to the mutual market, and made a tenfold profit. "Public and private abundance, Sima Rizi", Zu Li thought, "push the front across the river, sweep away Jishuo" arrived.

Sima Rui no longer believed it. He was very anxious, with grief and indignation, and wanted to forge ahead, but he couldn't wait, "God wants to kill me, this is not a country", in 321 AD, Liu Kun was hanged for 3 years, Zu Ti died of illness, "If the scholars and women of Yuzhou are mourned, the people of Yuliang will set up an ancestral hall for it."

The ambition was unpaid, and Zu Ti was 56 years old at the time.
