Since the Yingchuan Rebellion, the King of Qi has been paying attention to the movements of the imperial court, and when he learned that the imperial court was preparing to abolish himself as a concubine, he was immediately frightened and forgot all the previous preparations.

Sima Jiong brought his confidant and cried in a panic: "Disaster is coming, disaster is coming!" ”

Ge Xuan and the others were shocked, and they persuaded one after another: "Don't worry, the king, isn't this exactly what we want?" Anyway, we are about to raise troops, and the king can take the opportunity to play our banner and command the heroes! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's a widow who is at a loss, come on, hurry up and publish a crusade against you! Invite the righteous people from all over the world to eliminate traitors and participate in the grand event! Under the persuasion of everyone, the king of Qi finally came to his senses, and then became furious, and immediately ordered people to raise troops to settle the country, and invited the king of Chengdu, the king of Hejian, and the king of Changsha to raise troops together.

The princes and kings of the Jin Dynasty can not only enjoy the power of life and death in the fief, they can also collect a certain amount of taxes in the fief, more often they are concurrently serving as the assassin of a state, and the higher status is concurrently serving as the governor of a certain important land, holding great power.

In addition, everyone is a dragon and a phoenix, and they all secretly look at the throne with one eye, and how many of them are really keeping to themselves?

King Qi's father had a virtuous name in his early years, and in order to avoid Emperor Wu's suspicion, the old King Qi had been cautious and followed, and did not show any wrong thoughts. However, there is a way that people are old and mediocre, and since Emperor Wu was old, he was even more jealous of the prestigious King of Qi, which finally led to the death of the old King of Qi in fear.

The current King of Qi is Sima Jiong, the son of Sima You, who blames the death of his father on Emperor Wu's family, and never forgets to take revenge. Emperor Sima Zhen only had a bloodline advantage. In his early years, he was assisted by the Yang family and the Jia family, and later self-destroyed the Great Wall and put the big things on the women. made Empress Jia hold the power of the court for decades, and he was not used to it.

Thereupon. On the surface, he never said these things frankly when the kings exchanged letters, but behind the scenes, he made some plans, dreaming that one day he would seize the opportunity to order the kings, and he would be able to go further if it was not good.

As a result, the dark chess did not take long. There are people who are more ambitious than him! The crown prince Sima Shu boldly staged a coup d'état in the capital Luoyang, and successfully killed the queen Jia Nanfeng, and even Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, was also affected, resulting in his death and annihilation.

With this incident, King Qi, who had always had bad intentions, was deeply frightened by the prince's methods!

But at the instigation of the Xun family and a group of other families. The ambition of the king of Qi was completely inflated again, not only contacting the king of Chengdu and the king of Hejian, but also instigating Wang Yan, the assassin of Yanzhou, to rebel against the imperial court together.

"Raise troops, raise troops, order all kings to raise troops together, and the widow will see how you are so arrogant as a prince!"

Since receiving the news that the crown prince had abolished him as a concubine, Sima Jiong, the king of Qi, has been nervously pacing back and forth in the study, his steps are so fast and fast that he is about to trip several times. He wasn't muttering. He even stomped his heel viciously on those bits and pieces of letterhead.

However, it was said that when the envoy of the king of Qi arrived in Yecheng, Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, had the heart to respond, and was worried that his troops were too small, so he summoned his confidants to discuss.

After Lu Zhi understood Sima Ying's worries. He smiled and comforted: "Lord, the prince has acted perversely in the capital, and he is already angry and resentful. The king recruited heroes from all over the world to obey the will of the people, and fought against the evil with great righteousness. The people will not recruit themselves and strive to forge ahead. It is invincible! ”

Sima Ying was very happy, and immediately ordered the recruitment of troops, and sure enough, under the encouragement of money and power, many people who were unwilling to be mediocre responded one after another, and soon recruited 50,000 troops. Sima Ying joined the army with Lu Zhiwei, and led the people south with Li Yi, the assassin of Jizhou, Zhao Xiang, and Shi Chao as the forwards.

When the king of Chengdu was busy transferring troops and sending generals, after receiving the news that the king of Qi had asked for troops, the king of Hejian immediately summoned Zhang Fang, Bi Heng, and Fang Yang to discuss the matter.

Bi Heng, who joined the army, said excitedly: "The king's hegemony can be expected!" Now the crown prince has long made the sea boiling, and now the rebels have risen, and the prince will be defeated. For the sake of the king, it is better to personally lead the elite soldiers to Luoyang to rebel, which is also the best policy; Send the general to lead the troops to it, and this is also the middle strategy; Send a small army as appropriate, help win with the form, and make a decision! ”

Sima Yan thought for a moment, and sighed: "The widow has received the great favor of the first emperor, how can he see that the descendants of the Sima family have damaged the royal country, and the widow is willing to raise troops to respond to the king of Qi!" ”

Fang Yang praised: "The king is wise, this world is the world of the Sima family, and only the virtuous live in it." Today, the saint has been inherited for a long time, and the upper cannot comfort the spirit of the ancestors in the sky, and the lower cannot comfort the people of the world. There is also a prince who is perverse, and the government and the opposition are therefore uneven, and the king should send troops to respond as soon as possible. ”

When Sima Fang heard this, he was overjoyed and sent General Zhang Fang to lead an army of 30,000 to attack Sima Su. After the kings received the letter from the king of Qi, in addition to the alliance of the three kings that had been contacted for a long time, the prince of Xinye, the king of Changsha, and the assassin of Yanzhou, Wang Yan, etc., also raised troops in response.

When the news reached Luoyang, there was an uproar in the imperial court, some gloating, and some panicking. Even some people with bad intentions can't help but look up to the sky and howl in the middle of the night when no one is around: God has finally opened his eyes! The crown prince is finally falling!

For a while, the world suddenly changed!

The chaos of the vassal kings in the world suddenly attracted many forces to wait and see. The Hu people in the north tried to fish in troubled waters, and the Central Plains family wanted to use the power of the vassal king to overthrow Sima Shu's rule in one fell swoop. Sima Rui, who lived in Jiangdong, wanted to take the opportunity to realize his intention to divide Jiangdong.

Jiankang Langya Palace, Wang Dao Wang Dun and the two brothers were discussing things with Sima Rui, Sima Rui's face was full of excitement, and his voice was trembling: "Chu Zhong, Mao Hong, the world is in chaos!" Our years of planning are finally coming true! ”

"Congratulations to the king, now that the north is about to be in chaos, the king can take the opportunity to win the hearts of the people in Jiangdong, and by the time the north is a pot of porridge, we have already settled Jiangdong. At that time, the Sun family had seized China for nearly a hundred years by relying on Jiangdong alone, and the prince could completely rely on this place to achieve the cause of kingship! ”

Wang Dun was also very excited, if the situation today was developing in the direction they had envisioned back then, at this moment he had a feeling that the world was under control. Back then, he fell in love with King Langya, and now it seems that King Langya, who has a gentle personality, is more suitable as an agent of the family.

At present, Jiangdong Family and some Central Plains Family have reached a cooperation agreement. They will jointly elect Sima Rui as their representative, even if the crown prince defeats the rebellion of the Three Kings. In the face of the united Jiangdong place, I am afraid that it will also have a headache. When Emperor Wu unified the whole country. However, after years of preparation, Wang Dun and others were fully confident that they would complete the integration of internal forces before Sima Shu cut off the political enemies in the Central Plains.

When the internal forces of the Western Jin Dynasty were about to break out into civil strife, the grassland peoples outside also began to become ready to move, and Liu Yuan, the great leader of the Xiongnu, was also busy gathering the five tribes of the Southern Xiongnu and accumulating strength to wait for the time.

Since the Han Dynasty, the Huns living in today's Mongolian steppes have been "living in pursuit of water and grass", and at the same time, they have held high the banner of the wolf's head from time to time and gathered here. Suddenly a violent wind appeared on the northern frontier of the Han people.

They trampled crops, ransacked cities, burned houses, and killed local residents. After plundering, they often took thousands of Han Chinese as slaves. Often before the arrival of the Han army, the Huns disappeared into the endless steppe.

In addition to eating meat and drinking wine, these barbarians feasted on the jade silk of their children in the north wind, and screamed in celebration. This situation is not a day or two. Not a year or two, not a decade or twenty years, but centuries.

In the 22nd year of the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty (46 AD), an unprecedented drought occurred in the Mongolian steppe, where the Xiongnu depended. "Thousands of miles of red land, the grass and trees are withered." For the Huns, who lived on animal husbandry, the drought became an unprecedented disaster. Cattle and sheep have no grass to eat. starved to death; The shepherds had no food and starved to death; And the carcasses of people and animals are piled up. After no one cleaned up, another round of plague was triggered. The Huns, who have always been known as the "proud sons of the sky", "died and consumed most of them", and the powerful and powerful Xiongnu Khanate finally fell into division and scattered into the southern and northern Xiongnu.

The Southern Xiongnu temporarily put away their wolf nature and prostrate under the banner of the golden dragon of the Han Dynasty; The Northern Xiongnu were forced to move westward. In 91 A.D., the Eastern Han army took advantage of the victory to drive the Northern Xiongnu to the Jinwei Mountain (Altai Mountain), and the panicked Northern Xiongnu tribes could only go west and west, cross the Ula Mountain, escape the Volga River, and dare to sit down and take a breath north of the Caspian Sea.

More than two centuries later, the Northern Xiongnu, who had been intermarrying with local ethnic groups during migration, re-established themselves in what is now the Hungarian Plain, and began to establish a foothold in Eastern Europe and look at Western Europe. In the fifth century, the Hun king Attila once showed great power, killing Europe with a river of blood, and was feared by the Roman Empire as the "whip of God".

But the good times did not last long, and in 453 AD, Attila died violently in the arms of a beautiful woman, and the Xiongnu Khanate, which had migrated north, finally fell apart, scattered and merged with various ethnic groups in Europe.

Let's go back and talk about the Southern Huns. There were more than 5,000 Southern Xiongnu who were attached to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they were initially settled in Wuyuansai (west of present-day Baotou and south of Wula Mountain, Inner Mongolia), and soon moved to Meiji in Xihe (now Jungar Banner in Inner Mongolia). The Eastern Han Dynasty spent more than 100 million yuan of silver every year to supply these failed barbarians, hoping that they would become a barrier to defend the Northern Xiongnu.

However, it is estimated that the Han army was too powerful, the brave soul of the Huns has been beaten to pieces, following the Xiongnu and then the Xianbei people occupied the Xiongnu's hometown, and continued to the west, the southern Xiongnu were defeated again and again, the men and horses were killed innumerable, the cattle and sheep lost tens of millions, and they retreated south day by day, and finally were squeezed into the Zuoguo City of Lishi, Shanxi (now north of Lishi County, Shanxi).

In 216 A.D., the great hero Cao Mengde found that the Xiongnu who moved to the Senei were prosperous and had a large population, so they divided their authority and divided the Southern Xiongnu into five divisions, left, right, north, south and middle, "with a weak force", each department placed a division, and sent the Han people as Sima as a supervisor (Cao Wei, the division was renamed Duwei).

The left part of the Southern Xiongnu commanded more than 10,000 people, and lived in Zishi County (now Linfen, Shanxi); More than 6,000 people on the right, living in Qi County (now Qi County, Shanxi); The south has jurisdiction over more than 3,000 villages, living in Puzi County (now Xi County, Shanxi); There are more than 4,000 settlements in the north, and they live in Xinxing County (now Xin County, Shanxi); There are more than 6,000 settlements in the central part of the country, and they live in Daling County (now Wenshui County, Shanxi).

As a result, in the area of the Fenshui Basin, more than 30,000 Southern Xiongnu are scattered all around.

However, at that time, the Xiongnu tribes, fearing the wise and martial prime minister Cao Cao, usually farming and herding, and sending troops to fight wars were completely "obedient to the people" of the Han Dynasty, "...... Shan Yu is obedient, the name of the king is Ji Feng, and the ministry serves and serves, which is the same as making up households", and there is basically not much difference between the Xiongnu and the Han people in the interior.
