-------------- excerpt from the introduction

The heralds in the back waited for Zeng Hua to finally recover from the joy, and then stepped forward one by one to say: "Lord Hui, the express report also has the edict of Jiankang Ming, and a handwritten letter from Lord Yin Liu of Danyang." ”

Zeng Hua, who had finally calmed down, hurriedly turned over and dismounted to take the Ming edict, took a cursory look, couldn't help frowning, and then unfolded Liu Yi's handwritten book and looked at it, his expression became more and more solemn. After a long time, he said to Wang Meng, who was standing next to him: "Mr. Jingluo, you just happened to be here, plan for me." ”

After that, he turned to Feng Yangli and said, "Big man, bring me two Maza, I have something important to discuss with Mr. Yu Jingluo, you spread your guard." ”

The burly Feng Yangli agreed, and soon sent over two Maza, unfolded them and placed them next to Zeng Hua and Wang Meng, and then took Hot Wheels and Wang Meng's mounts away, and led hundreds of guards to disperse far away, forming a large circle with a high guard.

Zeng Hua and Wang Meng sat down on the maza, which is said to have come from the north, and the whole matza made of wide cowhide was very comfortable. Zeng Hua handed over the Ming Zhao Xingwen and Liu Yi's handwriting.

Wang Meng took it and read it carefully, only to see that the things on the text of the Ming edict were very simple, saying that Zeng Hua had recovered the lost land of Guanlong this time, and he had made great contributions, so the Ming edict returned to Jiankang and received the reward of heaven's grace in the temple hall.

Wang Meng then continued to read Liu Yi's handwriting. Liu Yi's handwriting is not so formal, the words are full of earnest care, and Liu Yi said straight to the point that this time the imperial court ordered Zeng Hua to return to Jiankang and had no other meaning, telling Zeng Hua not to think too much, if the war is not tense, then hurry to Jiankang for a trip. Liu Yi also said in the letter that the court was finally willing to be the eldest princess of Guiyang, Yu Zenghua, which was also his wish.

"Mr. Jingluo, do you think I should go back to Jiankang or not?" Zeng Hua asked in a deep voice.

Wang Meng was stunned in his heart, what's wrong with your lord today? Didn't you think about such an obvious thing? But when Wang Meng saw Liu Yi's next few words, his heart moved, and he somewhat understood what Zeng Hua was thinking.

"My lord, it's better not to go depending on your subordinates." Wang Meng said very bluntly, "Although Jiankang has no second intention to send the lord back to Jiankang this time, but it is probably inappropriate for the lord to leave Chang'an Guanyou at this time." Now the internal decision of Guan You, the people's hearts are unstable, and there are strong enemies outside, and the slightest carelessness will affect the overall situation, and it will be out of control. ”

"And the real intention of the Jiankang Imperial Court is just to contain the adults not to go straight to Heluo, and to delay time for the Northern Expedition of the Imperial Court, in their minds, whether they can recover Heluo is important, but who recovers Heluo is more important. In their eyes, recovering Heluo is also a bargaining chip. Of course, this Heluo is also a bargaining chip for us. The more Wang Meng spoke, the more straightforward he became.

"In this case, as long as the adult returns to the table and says that Guan You is in danger now, it is not the time to leave easily, and also makes it clear to the imperial court that Guan You is unlikely to have the ability to send troops to Heluo now, then it doesn't matter to the imperial court whether the adult returns to Jiankang or not. Adults don't have to easily give up the ardent expectations of millions of people for the sake of a name, and let the blood and sweat of tens of thousands of soldiers go to waste. Wang Meng said, "My lord, have you forgotten the military information from the reconnaissance department?" In July, Hebei was in turmoil, more than 200,000 people were ready to cross the river to join the imperial court, who knew that Chu Li had been defeated and returned to the court, no one answered, and was plundered by the Northern Zhao columns, and the death was slightly exhausted. My lord, you don't want this to happen to Guan You, do you? ”

Zeng Hua was silent, he knew that if he didn't preside over the overall situation in Chang'an, Guan Long, who had just been defeated and had not yet functioned normally, would not be able to withstand any impact. And I can't come back in one or two months when I go to Jiankang, this journey is tens of thousands of miles, and no matter how fast the horse is, the situation will not become faster. At that time, if he is defeated and retreats to Liangzhou, it will be another tragedy.

"Mr. Jingluo, I know the danger of leaving Chang'an, but I ......" Zeng Hua said this, reluctant to say any more.

"My lord, I know your relationship with Mr. Mancho. Mr. Zhenchang is already seriously ill, and going to Jiankang this time may be the last time, but if Chang'an Guanyou loses because of this, then how can Mr. Zhenchang feel at ease? Wang Meng persuaded.

Zeng Hua nodded gloomily, Liu Yi's last few words deeply touched him, if you don't see him this time, I'm afraid that I will see you again in the future. He also knew from Huan Wen's letters that Liu Yi was very ill and was close to running out of oil.

Zeng Hua thought about it, and finally sighed, and said quietly: "Nine times out of ten, there are joys and worries!" ”

On the second day, Zeng Hua returned to Chang'an, and the result of the discussion between Yu Cheyin and others was that they could not easily go to Jiankang, not for other reasons, just Pu Hong and Yao Gezhong, who were slowly moving westward in the eastern part of the country, had already put a lot of pressure on the Tongguan frontline. There is also the Zhang family in Liangzhou, who is also ready to move on the land of Henan, if it weren't for the approaching winter, this would have been done a long time ago.

So Zeng Hua called Che Yin and a handful of wonderful pens, and excused himself on the table: "Today, Guan Long is new, the people are new, and his heart is compassionate." Now there are the relics of the Northern Zhao Dynasty, jumping off the beam and the small, disobeying the king, gathering in the three auxiliary and neighboring places, scourging the people, making chaos in the place, although there is a large army to suppress, but the thousands of miles of embankment collapsed in the nest of ants, a little slack is the spark of the prairie fire. And the Xiliang Zhang clan is now called the prime minister, the king of Liang, Yong, Qin, Liang three state pastor, the heart of the disobedience is impressive, and the army Jincheng Hebei, peeping into the land of Henan, I am afraid that the beginning of spring is the time for Liang to ride south. The northern land belongs to the hunting land of the Xiongnu and Qiang people, and there are countless people, and sometimes they ride south to invade, and there is no prevention and control. Pu Hong, the head of Fangtou in the eastern part of the country, and Yao Gezhong of the head of the Guandong Dynasty, have been subject to the false edict of Yecheng, and have been led to the conquest of Guan Long, and they have moved eastward, looking at the right side of the Guan. In such a situation, the ministers did not dare to leave lightly, for fear that for their own name, they would cut off the hearts of millions of people and shed the merits of tens of thousands of soldiers. Therefore, please stay in the right side of the town to wait from time to time, soothe the people and the poor, hang the lonely and the widowed, strictly guard the border pass, rectify the soldiers, protect Xijing in crisis, and save the land in all difficulties. Yunyun"

The dictionaries have made it very clear that the current Guanyou is not very peaceful, there are threats in the east, west, and north, and a strong enemy may come at any time. If Zeng Hua, who was the commander-in-chief at this time, left to return to Jiankang without authorization, once Xijing was gained and lost, Guan You fell into the hands of the Hu people, and I don't know who should bear this responsibility. Since Guanzhong is naturally not capable of going out of Heluo, this important task should be completed by more talented ministers in the court.

Along with the resignation, there were also several envoys, who would take a large number of precious medicinal materials and other valuables found by Zeng Hua to Liu Yi from the Western Regions and the land of Xiqiang, and hurried to Jiankang in the starry night. Among them was also a famous painter who was good at portrait painting, and brought back to Chang'an a portrait of Liu Yi on Zeng Hua's orders.

In mid-October, Zeng Hua's resignation was sent to Jiankang, and the imperial court felt that although it was a little regrettable, it was all right, such a big Guan Long was easy to beat down, and he accidentally lost it before the enthusiasm of the people in the world disappeared, and Zeng Hua couldn't bear this responsibility, and the court couldn't bear it. Okay, let's do it, anyway, it's clear in and out of this rhetoric, this Heluo surname was incapable of fighting, whoever you love will fight, he is not rare.

So the resolution of the court was quickly passed, Zeng Huajia Zhenbei general, Kaifu Yitong three divisions, envoys, governors of Yong, Qin, Liang, Yi four states of the military, leading Yongzhou Assassin History, Feng Beidi County Duke. Other heroes such as Zeng Hua's invitation on the table, Gan Ruijia, the former general led the Liangzhou assassination history, and was named Han Pingbo; General Mao Muzhijia Zuo led the history of Qinzhou and was named Marquis of Han Feng; Zhang Shoujiahou general led the Yizhou Assassin History, Feng Deyang Bo; Che Yin plus the auxiliary general led Jing Zhaoyin, and the rest were not equal.

Then ordered Zeng Hua's wife Fan Min to be the lady of Wuling County, and took Yu Gui as an envoy and a pro-envoy to escort the eldest princess of Guiyang to the north, proclaimed the edict and gave marriage to Shang Qin, it seems that Sima Yu is determined to pull Zeng Hua into the Jin family's son-in-law club.

After Liu Yi learned of Zeng Hua's resignation, he couldn't help but sigh, silently in the middle of the night, and then wrote a letter by hand, which was handed over to the most sincere eldest son Liu Luo for careful safekeeping, and swore not to announce it to the public until the time came. wrote another handwritten letter, recommending his most astute third son, Liu Gu, to join the army for Zeng Hua, and set off on the same day, anyway, he didn't get married.

After arranging it, he sighed to his wife, Princess Huating, the daughter of a prince of the Jin family: "Family affairs and state affairs, I can only arrange this, and in the end, how to do it depends on creation." ”

In November, when the Jin State was preparing for a lively year to recover Guanlong, Yecheng began to be turbulent again.

Shi Zun felt that he couldn't bear Shi Min's dictatorship, and this night he summoned Shi Jian, King of Yiyang, Shi Bao, King of Leping, Shi Kun, King of Ruyang, Shi Zhao, King of Huainan and other important ministers to discuss major matters in front of his mother, Empress Dowager Zheng, and plotted to get rid of Shi Min.

Shi Zun spoke first: "Shi Min's heart is already very obvious, if we don't do it, I'm afraid we will be victimized by it, why don't we discuss gathering troops and making trouble, how about taking down this thief in one fell swoop?" ”

Shi Jian and the others looked at each other and said in unison: "Yes!" ”

But Empress Dowager Zheng, who watched Shi Min grow up, said: "Li Cheng raised troops to rebel, and without thorn slaves as the vanguard, how could there be our mother and son today?" He was just a little arrogant, and the lesson was, why kill him? After all, he is also the adopted grandson of the first emperor. Everyone was speechless, seeing this scene, Shi Zun had no choice but to announce the adjournment of the 121st Min meeting.

Who knew that Shi Jian had moved his mind, he didn't want this stalemate situation to continue, so he sent his henchman eunuch Yang Huan to secretly run to Shi Min.

Shi Min, who had long been fully vigilant, immediately sent troops to invite two powerful figures, Li Nong and Wang Ji, the general of the Right Guard, to discuss important matters. Things have come to this point, and the three of them know that there is no way back, so they just don't do anything! Su Yan and Zhou Cheng, the generals of the Su Guard, were sent to lead 3,000 soldiers to rush into the south platform of the inner palace.

Shi Zun was playing chess and playing for a few women, and when he saw a soldier rushing into the inner palace, he knew that something was wrong, so he asked, "Who is rebelling?" Zhou Cheng replied: "His Royal Highness Yiyang Wang Jian conforms to the will of heaven and should be established as the emperor." ”

Shi Zun couldn't help laughing: "I'm so happy, how many days can Shi Jian live?" ”

Su Yan and Zhou Cheng didn't say much, and began to kill according to Shi Min's instructions. Shi Zun was killed in Kunhua Palace, and Empress Dowager Zheng, Empress Zhang, Prince Shi Yan, Meng Zhun, Wang Luan and Shangguanglu Zhang Fei were all killed.

Shi Jian immediately ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world. Jiawu Xinggong Shi Min was the general, King Wude was crowned, Sikong Li Nong was the great Sima, and the book was recorded. Lang Min is the Sikong, Liu Qun, the assassin of Qinzhou, is the left servant of Shangshu, and Lu Chen is the supervisor of the middle book. It's a new dynasty and a new atmosphere.

Shi Jian, the lord of Xinzhao, is not a vegetarian master, he secretly conspired with Leping Wang Shibao, Zhongshu Ling Li Song, and the general Zhang Cai in the palace to take advantage of Shi Min and Li Nong to go to the palace to face the matter, ambush in the Kunhua Palace, ready to destroy the thief in one fell swoop. Who knew that Shi Min and Li Nong had already been one hundred and twenty times vigilant, wearing thick armor and carrying more armor soldiers on the left and right, and they suddenly smashed this emergency in one fell swoop, and the inner palace was suddenly in chaos. Shi Jian knew that the matter could not be revealed, and once Shi Min knew that he was the mastermind, his family would probably have to meet Shi Zun. immediately unceremoniously killed Shi Bao, Li Song, and Zhang Cai, who were useless, and temporarily saved their lives.

Soon, the emerging king Shi Zhen, who guarded Xiangguo, united with Puhong, Yao Gezhong and other feudal towns, spread the surrounding area, and raised troops to fight against Shi Min and Li Nong. Shi Min and Li Nong did not show weakness, in the name of fake Shi Jian, Wang Kun of Ruyin was the governor of the capital, and Zhang Ju and Hu Yansheng were the left and right generals, leading more than 70,000 people to ride on foot, and they also spread the word to the world and conquer the rebels.

However, the rebellions in Yecheng were ambushed one after another, first Shi Cheng, the leader of the army, Shi Qi, Shi Hui, the former Taishou of Hedong, and later the general Liu Bao of Longxiang and Zhang Ji, the general of Wuwei. In particular, Liu Bao and Zhang Ji rebelled, killing from Fengyang Gate to Kunhua Palace, and the corpses piled down each other, bleeding into a canal.

Shi Min ordered the city to say: "Recently, Liu and Zhang have rebelled, and the party has been ambushed, and there is no prediction of goodness. Today is over, those who are of the same heart with the officials remain, and those who are different are left to their own devices. The gate of the city is no longer forbidden. ”

As soon as this order was given, the "Zhao people" within a hundred miles rushed into Yecheng one after another, and Qianhu and others rushed out of Yecheng one after another. Shi Min finally knew that the "countrymen" of Qianhu were not of the same mind as himself, so he sent an order inside and outside: "The Zhao people behead a Hu head and send it to Fengyangmen, the civil officials will be promoted to the third class, and the military attachés will worship the Yamen." ”

This is the famous order to kill Hu.

Within a day, tens of thousands of people were beheaded. Shi Min personally led the handsome "Zhao people" to kill the white beard, regardless of the noble, the man, the old and the young, all of them were killed, the dead were as many as more than 200,000, and the corpses were all over the city, so that the wild dogs and jackals were very full. Shi Min also wrote to the leading generals of the Zhao people, asking them to kill all the generals in the army. Suddenly, a wind of killing Hu blew in the entire Central Plains, and many people with high noses, beards, and white skin were also killed, and all over the country fled west in groups. But the way they fled west was Zeng Hua's Guanzhong area.

In December, Zeng Hua, who heard that Yecheng had killed Hu, ordered that all people with white skin, high noses, and deep eyes and beards in Guanlong would gather and detain them to identify their identities, and once such Hu people were found in each checkpoint, they would also be detained and sent to a designated place to identify their identities. At the same time, the campaign to profoundly expose the atrocities of the Kahu was launched with more and more vigor under the command of the Guanfeng Interview Bureau.
