Jiankang is the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

In the past, it was the capital of Eastern Wu, when Zhuge Liang sent an envoy to Jiangdong, he once said to Sun Quan: "Moling terrain, Zhongshan Longpan, stone tiger, usurper king's house." "Sun Wu founded the country, so he thought it was the capital.

Jiankang City is more than 20 miles around, east of Zhongshan, south of Qinhuai, west of the river, north of Houhu (Xuanwu Lake), in the barrier.

The Jin Kingdom moved southward, along with the capital, divided Jiankang and Moling counties, and the urban area expanded to 40 miles from east to west, north and south. The center is Miyagi (Taicheng).

Baishilei (Baixia) in the north, Xuanwu City, Langxie County in the south, Stone City in the west, Yecheng in the southwest, Xizhou City in the southwest, Dongfu City in the southeast, Danyang County City in the south, Dutun has heavy troops, the dwelling is victorious, and the guard is strong.

At the time of prosperity, Jiankang had a population of 280,000 households, making it the first city in the world with a population of more than one million!

After the Hu army of Yao Xiang and Pu Jing crossed the Yangtze River, they successively captured Baishilei, Xuanwu City and Nanlangya County, stationed troops in Xuanwu, and looked at Jiankang.

At this critical moment, Liu Yi was ordered to serve as an envoy to Xuanwu City to negotiate with Yao Xiang and others.

"Liu Yi has seen General Yao and General Pu."

Liu Yan was taken to the mansion, passing by by the stubborn Hu people, in the lobby, a group of Hu generals either sneered, or stared at him viciously, making people feel their scalp tingling.

The two deputy envoys who followed Liu Yi were very scared, both trembled, and a faint cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, if Liu Yi was still calm, maybe these two people would have been scared and lay down!

Seeing Yao Xiang and Pu Jing sitting on the top, Liu Yi was calm and calm, and made a gesture to them, which was considered to be courtesy.

Yao Xiang bowed his head slightly and said: "I have heard the name of the true eldest prince for a long time, like thunder, and when I see it today, it is really worthy of the name!" ”

"General Yao praised it falsely."

"Oh? How does the real elder know that I am Yao Xiang? Yao Xiang and Liu Xiang have never met, so they can't help but be a little curious about this person actually swearing that he is Yao Xiang.

Liu Yiyun said lightly: "Everyone in the world knows that Yao Pingbei has a high reputation since he was a child, he is majestic, studious and erudite, especially good at talking, and is known for his talent and knowledge in Southern Xia. Moreover, it is rumored that General Yao is hanging his arms above his knees, which does not seem to be groundless. ”

was slapped by Liu Xiang like this, Rao is Yao Xiang is often flattered by others, and he is no longer surprised, and he can't help but feel a little fluttery at this moment.

It is worth mentioning that Yao Xiang had defected to the Eastern Jin Dynasty and was canonized as the general of Pingbei, and his troops were placed in Qiaocheng. Pu Jing was canonized as General Anbei, and his subordinates were moved to Litai in Liangguo.

And the reason why Liu Yi can recognize the person in front of him as Yao Xiang is nothing more than his unique image of "hanging his arms over his knees", which is the same as the nickname that Ran Min once gave Yao Xiang - Yao Orangutan!

Yao Xiang smiled and said, "Haha! The real long man praised it. When I was in the city, I often heard about the deeds of the true elder prince, and the world said that the true elder prince was clear and far-reaching, with a talented demeanor and a sense of knowledge! I didn't believe that Jin Guo really had such a capable person, but now I look at it, hahahaha! is really an ordinary man's bearing, he is really not an ordinary man! ”

"General Yao is overrated." Liu Yi was humble again and again.

Liu Yi is indeed very famous in Jiangnan, and he is not a person who sells his reputation and reputation.

Liu Yi was born in a family of eunuchs, and his grandfather Liu Hong, who was quite famous in the Western Jin Dynasty, and his brother Liu Cui and his brother Liu Huang were praised by the contemporaries: "Luozhong Yaya has three words." ”

Liu Yan's father, Liu Tan, was also famous for his official position in Jinling.

When Liu Yi was young, he was clear and far-reaching, with grace and talent, and lived in Jingkou with his mother Ren, his family was poor, and he made a living by weaving straw shoes. Although Liu Yi lives in the alleys of Xumen, he is at ease.

He was not taken seriously at first, but Prime Minister Wang Dao valued him very much.

Later, Liu Yi became more and more famous, and was compared to Yuan Qiao by the current theory. Liu Yi was very happy when he heard this, and went home to tell Ren about it.

Ren is a smart person, she: "You can't compare with him, don't accept it." Some people compared him with Fan Wang, and he was very happy, but Ren still didn't allow him to accept it.

After Liu Yi became an adult, he was compared to Xun Cang, a famous scholar in the Three Kingdoms period. He later married Sima Nandi, the daughter of Emperor Ming of Jin, Princess Luling.

In the first year of Yonghe (345), Sima Yu, the king of Huiji, was awarded the six things of Fujun General and Lushangshu to participate in court politics. And Sima Yu thought that Liu Yi had always been good at speaking and reasoning, so he and Wang Meng were both talkers, and they were very relied on by Sima Yu, and the two were called guests in the room.

Later, he successively served as Situ Zuo Changshi and Shi Zheng

In the same year, Yu Yi, the general of Zhengxi, died, and the Jingzhou Assassin Shi appointed by Yu Yi became vacant. Yu Yi originally handed over the post of assassin to his son Yu Zhanzhi, and asked for permission; However, He Chong, who was an auxiliary minister, recommended Huan Wen as the assassin of Jingzhou.

Liu Yi admired Huan Wen's talent very much, but understood that he had a heart of disobedience, so he made a statement to Sima Yu, saying that Huan Wen could not occupy the position of Jingzhou that could win, and that he should always suppress his title.

In this way, Liu Yu objected to letting Huan Wen take the post of Jingzhou Assassin, and even persuaded Sima Yu to take himself as the Assassin of Jingzhou and take himself as his military secretary, but Sima Yu did not listen; Liu Yu then asked to be appointed as the assassin of Jingzhou, but Sima Yu did not listen.

In August of the same year, the imperial court appointed Huan Wen as the general of Anxi and the assassin of Jingzhou, but at the same time ordered Liu Yi to supervise the military of the central government and lead Yicheng to be too guarded to replace the former Taishou Yu Fangzhi.

Huan Wen led the army into Shu to crusade against the Cheng Han regime, and most of the people at the time thought that Huan Wen was difficult to succeed, but only Liu Yi thought that it could be done.

Liu Yi also recommended Zhang Ping, a native of Wu County, and Zhang Ping later became a talented and virtuous scholar, so everyone said that he had the wisdom to know people.

Then Liu Yi served as Danyang Yin five years ago, and he was clean and tidy during his tenure, and there were no miscellaneous guests.

At that time, the people sometimes sued the governor, so the counties often listed some official crimes, but Liu Yi did not agree with this behavior, and thought that if the wind did not go, the people would be separated. So Liu Yi, who is the governor of the national capital Jiankang, suppressed these performances and did not pursue them.

Yao Xiang then invited Liu Yi to take a seat.

As soon as he took his seat, in order to prevent Yao Xiang from continuing to interrupt and talk about him left and right, Liu Yan said straight to the point: "General Yao, I can't hide it, I came with the will of His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and even more so with the sincerity of the imperial court." ”

"The general and General Pu Jing led their troops to withdraw to the country without dispatch, and also captured Baishilei, Xuanwu City and Nanlangya County, stationed troops in Xuanwu, and surrounded the national capital Jiankang, I don't know why? There may be some misunderstandings. ”

"Haha......" Yao Xiang smiled awkwardly, but did not reply.

Liu Yan continued: "General Yao, in fact, I admire your talent and knowledge, and I have been friends with you for a long time. The general of the Chinese army, Yangzhou Assassin Shi Yin Hao, was afraid of the general's prestige, so through the general's brothers, he frequently sent assassins to assassinate the general, but the assassins told the general the truth frankly, and the general treated them like old friends. ”

Later, Yin Hao also secretly sent the general Wei Jing to lead more than 5,000 people to attack the general and your troops, and the general then beheaded Wei Jing and annexed his army. Yin Hao hated you even more, so he sent the general Liu Qishu to guard the city, wanting to move your troops to Litai of Liang State, and pay tribute to the general as the history of Liang's country. ”

Hearing this, Yao Xiang nodded and said, "Yes." I hate Yin Hao, I have worked hard for the Jin Kingdom, born and died, he shouldn't exclude me like this! Yin Hao hates us Qiang people, and my people hate to eat their flesh raw, where can they still serve under his command? ”

"General, it's all prejudice."

Liu Hao sighed faintly and said, "General, do you know what I did to Yin Hao at that time?" ”

"Please also ask the true elder to teach me."

"Yin Hao said to me at the time: 'Yao Pingbei's actions are always his own decisions, doesn't he live up to the expectations of the imperial court for him?' I said, 'My lord is gullible and suspicious, and I don't think the cause of his suspicion is his. Yin Hao: 'Yao Jun indulges people and steals my horses, is this the courtesy of the king's courtiers?' I also said: "My lord thinks that Yao Pingbei is trying to be strong with his might, and it will be difficult to protect it in the end, so he will punish disrespect by training soldiers, and he just wants to use the horse to defend himself." General Yao should know everything that happened later, right? ”

For this incident, Yao Xiang naturally remembers it vividly.

Later, Yin Hao sent Xie Wan to conquer Yao Xiang, and Yao Xiang defeated him.

Yin Hao was very angry, just hearing that there were changes in the north, Ran Min was leading the army to attack the Western Regions, so he personally led the army to the north, Yao Xiang intercepted Yin Hao in Shansang (now north of Mengcheng, Anhui), defeated Yin Hao's army, killed and captured tens of thousands of people, and captured his materials.

Let his brother Yao Chang guard the mountain and mulberry base, and then march to Huainan.

Yin Hao sent Liu Qi and Wang Binzhi to attack Shansang, Yao Xiang attacked from Huainan to eliminate them, crossed the Huai River with great fanfare, stationed in Xuyi (now Xuyi, Jiangsu), recruited and plundered wanderers, the army reached 70,000 people, set up officials to guard the slaughter, encouraged and supervised Nongsang, sent envoys to the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to build Ye, stated Yin Hao's crimes, and apologized for his crimes.

Yao Xiang's anti-revolt was already obvious, but at that time, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was reluctant to start a civil strife, and saw that it was very difficult to quell Yao Xiang's rebellion, so he had to give up.

Until the Wei and Jin Wars, when there were not many soldiers to fight, the Jin State even sent Yao Xiang's troops to the battlefield.

"True Elder Father, I should be grateful to you for this." Yao Xiang hugged his fist towards Liu Xuan.

"General, you and General Pu Jing have come here like this, I don't know what the purpose is?"

Hearing this, Yao Xiang and Pu Jing glanced at each other.

Yao Xiang coughed dryly and said: "True Changgong, don't hide it, in the battle of the chasm, it is indeed wrong for me and Pu Jing's subordinates to withdraw from the battlefield without permission, but it is just because of Yin Hao's suspicion." Today, the soldiers are coming, and the soldiers are coming to Jiankang City, which is really a last resort! ”

"What's the inside story?"

Yao Xiang said hesitantly: "True Changgong, you should know that my subordinates and Puqing are all Qiang and Di people, although they are Jin troops, they still maintain the characteristics of nomadic tribes, and the soldiers and horses of each department cannot be completely ordered, and the captains of each department still have great autonomy." This south, and even attacking the city and killing the soldiers and civilians in Jindi, is the idea of the subordinates themselves, and we can't stop it. ”

Can't stop it?

Liu Yi almost died of laughter.

If the subordinates under the command of Pu Jing and Yao Xiang were really like this, a mass of scattered sand, I am afraid that they would have been eaten by the Jin State a long time ago, where could they wait until today when they surrounded Jiankang City?

But Liu Yan didn't break it, but said lightly: "I don't know how the two generals can restrain their subordinates?" ”

The main drama is coming!

Yao Xiang and Pu Jing glanced at each other, and they both saw the greedy green light in each other's eyes.
