Chapter 3: The Collapse of the Empire

The revolutionary fire of the Huns continued to burn.

In the first month of the second year of Yongjia (308), Liu Yuan ordered his son Liu Congnan to base Taihang Mountain, and ordered Shi Le to lead his army eastward and attack Wei County (southwest of Linzhang County, Hebei), Ji County (southwest of Ji County, Henan), Dunqiu (southwest of Qingfeng County, Henan) and other places.

The Sima family has tossed itself into a thousand holes, and wherever the Shile army went, the Western Jin Dynasty fortress fell from the wind. From the surrendered troops, Shile selected 50,000 able-bodied people to be incorporated into his army, and his strength was further strengthened. In the third year of Yongjia (309), Liu Yuan named Shile as the general of Anton and allowed Shile to open the mansion.

What is Kaifu? Kaifu means that officials can choose their own subordinates to establish offices, and obviously, in ancient China, only sufficiently senior officials had such rights.

In the Han Dynasty, only the "three dukes" and the great generals had the treatment of opening the government. "Three Princes" have different meanings in different periods in ancient times, such as: 1, Sima, Situ, Sikong, 2, Prime Minister, Yu Shi Dafu, Taiwei, 3, Taifu, Taishi, Taibao, have been called "Three Princes" in different periods, but Sikong, Sima, Situ The title of "Three Divisions" has gradually become a convention and has become synonymous with "Three Princes".

After all, the "Three Princes" are the apex of everyone's careers except the emperor, and there are only three establishments, which cannot meet the needs of the emperor to reward meritorious people, what should I do?

How can this stump the supreme emperor of the world? It's just a noun. For example, Li Shimin, who had made too many meritorious contributions and could not be crowned, was ingeniously named "General Tiance" by his father and boss Li Yuan. And Hong Xiuquan sealed the book under the Tianwang Mansion behind closed doors, and sealed more than 2,700 kings in one go. At the beginning, there were five kings in the southeast and northwest wings, and the title name was elegant and popular, and then what came to the king, the guide king, the king invited, the king blocked, and the king came out, and Tang Zhengcai, who was born as a waterway vendor, was named the king of navigation. Brother Liu Degong is very hard-working, what kind of king is he crowned? This brother used to sell aphrodisiacs, alas, let's make a "Ting" king, this ...... Thanks to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it only existed for 13 years, otherwise there were only 3,500 commonly used Chinese characters, which was almost not enough.

Under the premise that the imperial power can create the establishment and honorary titles at will, a term that we often see but is more incomprehensible was born.

Kaifu Yi is the same as the three divisions.

Liu Yuan allowed Shi Le to open the mansion, and he chose his subordinates such as Changshi, Sima, and Zhonglang. Shi Le's power in the Xiongnu Liu Han regime is growing day by day, not to mention that it is completely equivalent to Liu Cong, but it has gradually approached Liu Yao, and the three of them can be called the BIG3 of the Xiongnu Liu Han regime.

The spring breeze is proud, and the victory pursues you to pick up your skin. Shi Le took advantage of the situation to attack the two counties of Julu (southwest of Pingxiang County, Hebei) and Changshan (south of Zhengding County, Hebei), conquered more than 100 fortresses in the Western Jin Dynasty, and expanded the army to more than 100,000 people. Just after Shile marched into Changshan County, he ushered in his first tough opponent after leading the army independently--- Wang Jun.

Wang Jun, whose name is Pengzu, was a great warlord in the north of the Western Jin Dynasty, from the famous Taiyuan Wang clan. His father, Wang Shen, was a high-ranking official in the Western Jin Dynasty. Familiar name? That's right, it's the second and fifth boy Wang Shen who discussed with Cao Chao on the front foot to crusade against Sima Zhao, and ran to tell the whistle on the back foot.

According to the law of conservation of all things in the universe, one area must be satisfied, and other areas must be disappointed. Erwuzai Wang Shen, the official to the senior position of the hussar general of the Western Jin Dynasty, can be described as a proud career, but there has always been a shortcoming - no son. Wait, isn't Wang Jun his son? Yes, physiologically, but ethically not.

Because, Wang Jun is the result of Wang Shen's brain and a little girl surnamed Zhao. Wang Shen was born in the famous scholar family Taiyuan Wang family, although he has been a second or five boys, but he has high requirements for ethics and morality, he has always had a fucked logic - Zhao's status is poor, and Wang Jun's illegitimate son is not my son. It doesn't matter if your mouth is hard, you have to be tough elsewhere, but Lao Wang has been messing with the wives and concubines that Ming Media is marrying, and he hasn't made a big fat boy with a handle.

In 266, Wang Jun had just turned 14 years old, and Wang Shen, who had overconsumed too much yang energy, suddenly got myocarditis and received a boxed lunch. Wang Jun was happy to run to the top, and finally won by blood, inheriting the title of Lao Wang - Boling Gong, who was not a supernumerary person at the main stock level and became one of the spokesmen of the top family nobles and a national leader. Xiao Wang has held several positions, served as the commander of the Xuchang garrison, the history of the Qingzhou assassin, and later served as the general of Ningshuo, the governor of Youzhou, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Military Region and the Shenyang Military Region, guarding the northern gate of the Western Jin Empire.

In addition to his humble background and good luck, Wang Jun's life also has the biggest difference from other Western Jin Dynasty bureaucrats, that is, he has a special relationship with ethnic minorities.

Youzhou, the northern gate of the Western Jin Dynasty, is equivalent to the current Beijing City, northern Hebei, southern Liaoning and northwest Korea, and there are many ethnic minorities in the jurisdiction. Especially after Sima Yi captured and killed Sun Yuan, the prince of Liaodong, without the suppression of the Gongsun clan, the local Xianbei people gradually rose, with tens of thousands of iron horses, and have grown into a strong force that cannot be ignored in Liaodong.

After Wang Jun was appointed as the general of Ningshuo and the governor of Youzhou, it was during the rebellion of the Eight Kings, and the infighting in the court was serious, and the group of thieves broke out. In troubled times, what warlord doesn't want to take the opportunity to expand his strength in order to seek hegemony or self-preservation? Wang Jun also took advantage of his convenience in guarding Youzhou to make friends with the Xianbei people. How to make friends?

and pro. Heqin, also known as Herong or Hefan, refers to a political marriage reached by the rulers of the Central Plains Dynasty with foreign or foreign countries for various purposes. The objects chosen by Wang Jun and his relatives are relatively comprehensive. The Huns have lost power and rebelled, leaving the two Donghu brothers, Wuhuan and Xianbei, who to choose?

Don't put all your eggs in the same basket, Wang Jun made this multiple-choice question into a multiple-choice question. Anyway, there are many daughters, Wang Jun took out two, one married Duan Wu Bechen, the leader of Duan Xianbei, and the other married Su Shuyan, the leader of Wuhuan.

In particular, the leader of Duan Xianbei Duan Wu Bechen (also known as Duan Wu Mu Chen), Wang Jun attached great importance to it, and recommended to the Western Jin Dynasty court to crown this Xianbei son-in-law as the Duke of Liaoxi, and gave Liaoxi County, which is now Qinhuangdao City, Hebei Province, to Duan Wu Bechen.

During the reign of Duan Wu Bechen, he possessed the land of western Liaoning, known as the principality of western Liaoning, and the capital was in Lingzhi (now Qian'an City, Hebei Province), with 40,000 or 50,000 iron horsemen, which was a military force that could not be underestimated.

Wang Jun's son-in-law was the right choice.

In 301, Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, was proclaimed emperor, and Sima Jian, the king of Qi, and Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, raised troops to fight, and also recruited Wang Jun to raise troops together. In the face of chaos and the co-optation of all parties, Wang Jun's strategy is: I support whoever is the emperor. Why?

Fighting back and forth is all in the nest of your Sima family, whoever is the emperor and I support whom, at least morally it is not a loss. He decisively chose to support Sima Lun and confiscated all the crusade letters sent to Youzhou. After Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, was defeated and killed, although Sima Ying, who seized power, was dissatisfied with Wang Jun, because his strength was too strong, he could not easily exonerate himself for the time being, and he still entered his position as the general of Anbei against his will.

In 304, Sima Hao, the king of Hejian, and Sima Ying joined forces to attack Luoyang, and finally killed Sima Yi, the ruling king of Changsha, and successfully seized power. At this time, the contradiction between Sima Ying and Wang Jun was irreconcilable, and Sima Ying made up her mind to clear this great disaster in the north. Sima Ying can be described as bold and black-hearted, and the means of removal that can be selected are very untechnical.

Assassinate.

Sima Ying sent his cronies and acting as the assassin of Youzhou, broke into the interior of Youzhou, and looked for an opportunity to assassinate Wang Jun.

He Yan felt that he was a little lonely to eliminate such a big man, so he was ready to look for a helper.

A single member of the Wuhuan clan appeared in the line of sight of Heyan. The two of them were going to take advantage of the opportunity to swim with Wang Jun in the clear spring south of Jicheng.

Wang Jun, the largest and strongest warlord in the northern part of the Western Jin Empire, was on the verge of losing his territory.

However, on the day of the operation, Wang Jun and Xiao Jingteng possessed his body, and it rained heavily, and all the weapons used in the assassination were wet, and he couldn't hold them in his slippery hands, so the assassination operation was forced to be canceled.

It's a magical thing to analyze. Cold weapons are wet, which is really not easy to use, which is why the red tassel gun has a red tassel, because the red tassel can prevent the blood from flowing down the barrel of the gun after the gun head stabs the enemy's body, affecting the grasp. However, when the weapons were wet in the rain, it was enough to wipe the placket of the clothes, so why did they abandon the major assassination operation because of this?

Anyway, the assassination plan didn't go ahead because of the rain.

He Yan didn't think there was anything, in terms of success or failure, life was heroic, but he started all over again. However, the Wuhuan people were more superstitious and believed that everything was providential, everything was fate, and it was doomed after all, so he decisively switched to Wang Jun. If you change jobs and change bosses, you have to have a meeting gift, and the meeting gift given by Xiandeng to the new boss Wang Jun is to explain the assassination plan of Heyan.

Wang Jun immediately raised troops with Shen Deng and secretly killed the Youzhou Assassin and Assassin He Yan sent by the central government.

The history of Youzhou Assassin said that if you kill, you will kill, depending on what is the central government? After He Yan's death, Sima Ying of the ruling authorities issued an order in Yecheng to recruit Wang Jun into Beijing, preparing to activate the accountability mechanism.

It depends on what you are, it depends on Lao Tzu's strength. If you are weak, you will be regarded as a holy thing, and if you are strong, you will be regarded as a waste. Wang Jun united the old leader Sima Teng, the new son-in-law Duan Wu Bechen and Wuhuan and other minority tribes to form the Hu and Han coalition army, and beat the central leader Sima Ying back to Luoyang with a chaotic fist and captured Yecheng.

After the fall of Yecheng, the people in the city fell into hell on earth.

In ancient times, the Central Plains Dynasty borrowed troops from ethnic minorities, which was generally a helpless move by the country in turmoil and its own inability to quell the rebellion, and the price paid was also quite painful. For example, in the Anshi Rebellion, in order to allow the Uighurs to send troops, Tang Suzong promised that after capturing Chang'an, "the golden silk and women will be returned to the Uighurs." And after the real wait captured Chang'an, the crown prince Li Yu felt that the people of Luoyang would defend Chang'an by burning and looting. So the object of plunder was changed from Chang'an to Luoyang. In this way, Luoyang became Chang'an's scapegoat. What did the Uighurs do? The record of the "Old Tang Book" is relatively obscure, and the "Zizhi Tongjian" is not so polite, "Hui entered Tokyo, wantonly killed, the dead were ten thousand, and the fire was not extinguished." Proper burning, killing, plundering, proper slaughter of the city, proper gang of hungry ghosts, hungry ghosts.

Does this historical fact reflect the general theory that "weak countries have no diplomacy" and "there are only interests between countries"? Lao Wang thinks that this historical fact nakedly exposes the shamelessness of the feudal dynasty, as long as he can return to the throne and wear the crown again, what are the few cheap lives of the common people?

This time, Wang Jun borrowed troops from Xianbei, and his son-in-law Duan Wu Bechen was very powerful, and he really helped himself out of his bad breath. How do you repay this good son-in-law of yourself? Wang Jun learned in advance the scene of rewarding the Uighurs during the Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty - Ren Xianbei soldiers robbed for three days!

For a long time, they have been herding sheep and cattle in the cold land of the north, and now they have entered the prosperous city of the Central Plains, and the Xianbei people have red eyes, rape, kill, and plunder in Yecheng, and plunder countless wealth. Of course, in this troubled world, the most affected are the weak and innocent women.

Tens of thousands of Han women were driven back to the north like cattle and sheep by the Xianbei people as war trophies. Along the way, he was ravaged and miserable, it can be imagined that Lao Wang couldn't bear to say more. What's more, the relevant historical materials also record that the Xianbei people also used these women as military food, slaughtered and cooked, and called them "two-legged sheep". When I walked to Yishui, Hebei, I only had 8,000 left. Wang Jun couldn't bear it in his heart, and asked the Xianbei people to leave these 8,000 poor people. As a result, the beasts couldn't eat it for a while, and they didn't want to let go, so they all rushed to the water and drowned.

True? False? The element of exaggeration is bound to be there. However, Lao Wang believes that the survival and independence of the nation are inseparable from iron and blood, and we should never underestimate the cruelty and cruelty in it. As soon as the war machine is opened, it naturally opens the door to Satan. Soldiers, whether they were weak chicken scholars, oily traders, or honest farmers with hoes, will join in the killing, rape and looting in the herd and collective unconscious, and their demonic nature will be greatly released. Don't think you won't, it's probably hard to escape from human nature. Believe it or not, look at Iraq, Libya, Syria and even Ukraine today.

Only when the country is strong and the nation is strong can the people be protected from humiliation and misery, and moral restraint is not worth mentioning in the face of iron and blood.

After plundering the Central Plains, Wang Jun returned to Youzhou and his strength increased greatly. In 305, Wang Jun and Sima Yu, the king of Fanyang, pushed Sima Yue as the co-master, and ordered the general Qi Hong to lead the Wuhuan cavalry to help Sima Yue attack Chang'an, and successfully held Zhang Fang hostage to Chang'an, and Emperor Hui of Jin returned to Luoyang, the capital of Chang'an.

Emperor Jin Hui was carried around like a puppet, but he did play the role of a mascot and a beckoning cat - whoever grabbed him would be promoted. Wang Jun was named the general of the hussars, the governor of the Dongyi Hebei military for his merits, and led the history of Youzhou Thorn, like the spokesman of the Western Jin Empire in the north.

In 307, Emperor Huai of Jin succeeded to the throne, and Wang Jun was promoted to Sikong and added the captain of Wuhuan. At this time, Wang Jun, not only had a position in the central government, was a national leader, but also a feudal official, guarding Beisai, was already one of the most powerful warlords in the Western Jin Dynasty, and Youzhou also became his independent kingdom.

In 308, Shi Le came to attack Changshan County, which was to move Wang Jun's territory. Wang Jun ordered his general Qi Hong and Xianbei's son-in-law Duan Wu Bechen to lead more than 100,000 people to attack Shile.

This Han-Hu coalition army was extremely strong in combat, stronger than any army that Shile had encountered before, including Gou Xi's Western Jin Dynasty government army. Shi Le couldn't resist for a while, and was defeated at Feilong Mountain in Changshan, and more than 10,000 people died.

This was the first time Shi Le and Wang Jun had met. If you can't beat it, you will fight around, but you can't match Wang Jun, Shi Le first retreated to Liyang (east of Junxian County, Henan), and then turned to attack Xindu (Ji County, Hebei), and killed Wang Bin, the assassin of Jizhou in the Western Jin Dynasty. Therefore, Liu Yuan named Shile as the general of Zhendong and gave him moral support.

In 310, Liu Yuan, the "ancestor of the Han Dynasty", died of illness, and his son Liu Cong became emperor after some infighting, stepping up the pace of destroying the Jin Dynasty. The battle plan is very straightforward: the generals Liu Yao, Liu Cang, Wang Mi and others led 40,000 people to attack Luoyang, the capital of the Western Jin Dynasty; Shi Le and Liu Yao, who fought in the north and south of the Yellow River (Yanzhou and Jizhou), joined forces.

After Shi Leqin led 20,000 cavalry to join Liu Cang, he defeated the Jin army in Mianchi (Sanmenxia, Henan). However, when Shi Le marched to Chenggao Pass (Bishui Town, Xingyang County, Henan), he was defeated by his old rival Jin general Wang Zan.

Shi Le, who has been running on the road of escape since he was a child, has never been afraid to walk more, and summed up the strategy and tactics of leaving if he cannot win a battle, and guerrilla warfare while walking, and may be the earliest guerrilla warfare expert in China. He turned south to attack Xiangcheng (Xiangcheng County, Henan) and stationed in Beishan in Wan (Nanyang City, Henan). Later, in Wan and Sui (Deng County, Henan), he annexed a group of displaced people's armed forces, strengthened his strength, and then attacked Xiangyang in the south, and then captured more than 30 barriers in Jiangxi, and stationed troops in the Jianghan area.

Jiangxi here refers to the area east of the Han River, the east of the Chushui, the south of the Huaishui, and the north of the Yangtze River. What does the barrier, mentioned many times before, mean?

The rampart, also known as the dock fort and dock wall, is a kind of defensive building built by the people. In the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, there was continuous famine in the north and social turmoil. In order to protect themselves, local heroes have built dock forts and camp walls, which are similar in function to European castles.

In fact, this kind of dock fort has existed as early as the reign of Wang Mang. The central government certainly did not want the Wubao to exist because it was easy to fuel local forces, and after Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, established the Eastern Han Dynasty, he ordered the destruction of the Wubao. However, since the people in the northern region have been invaded by the Hu people, the dock fort can indeed be used to save lives, so many dock forts have survived. Fortunately, these surviving dock forts can be used as a refuge for the people in times of chaos in the world. During the Republic of China, the earthen enclosures of the local gentry should also be similar to this kind of dock fort.

Ambition is the nature of a wolf, and only a dog can be submissive and content with the status quo. Shi Le, who captured the Jiangxi fortress and garrisoned Jianghan, had the idea of taking Jianghan and separating from Liu Cong at this time.

However, due to the lack of food and wages, the plague broke out in the army, most of the soldiers were killed and wounded, and Sima Rui, the evil king of Lang in the south, sent troops to resist, and Shi Lecai crossed the river in the first month of 311 and captured Jiangxia (Yunmeng County, Hubei). He continued to go north, attacked and killed Sima Quyu, the king of Xincai, in Nandun (west of Xiangcheng County, Henan), and occupied Xuchang City.

When Liu Yao, Liu Cang, and Wang Mi sent by Liu Cong to destroy the Jin army and attack Luoyang, and on the other hand, when Jun Shile moved to fight in the Jianghan area, Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, the final victor of the rebellion of the eight kings of the Western Jin Dynasty, had a more and more difficult time in Luoyang.

Because Sima Yue was good at government affairs and killed dissidents, there was no unity inside. Now that the Huns Liu are attacking again, Luoyang can't hold it. If you can't hold it, you have to leave, and if you can go, you have to go decently, otherwise the army will be in chaos, and the scene will be even more untidy.

Sima Yue wanted to find an excuse.

Excuses are a breeding ground for incompetence and the easiest thing for people to find. Sima Yue's excuse was quickly found. Didn't Liu Yao's army come to attack Luoyang? We're going to fight the outer Shile. Kyiv you don't defend, you say you go to recover Donetsk, the actual attempt is, of course, to escape. Sima Yue's ultimate goal was to return to his hometown to seal the East China Sea (north of Tancheng County, Shandong) and protect himself.

In November 310, Sima Yue led more than 40,000 soldiers and a large number of princes and ministers, totaling more than 100,000 people, and left Luoyang City in a hurry. This includes the head of the hundred officials, Taiwei Wang Yan.

The mobile army lined up in a long queue, like a listless centipede, slowly meandering forward, crawling away from Luoyang, passing through Xuchang, and entering Yutun (south of Shenqiu County, Henan).

At this time, the high-level leaders of the Western Jin Dynasty have not forgotten the infighting. Sima Yue led the army and ministers to flee and evacuated Luoyang City, and Sima Chi, the Jin Huai Emperor who was "bare-roded" in the city, hated him very much, and secretly ordered the famous general Gou Xi to lead the army to pursue.

Sima Yue was troubled externally and internally, and eventually, the final victor of the Eight Kings' Rebellion, fell ill and died in March 311.

After 1547, a detachment of more than 100,000 soldiers, officials, and family members left the capital to empty the defenses, and finally the leader was killed, and the regime he served was destroyed. This leader's name is Shi Dakai. How similar the histories are.

In this big drama in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, Sima Yue received a boxed lunch in advance, but he was relieved, and the mobile army had no leader, so he had to choose a speaker to lead everyone to continue flowing. Everyone looked around, and the new talker could only be Taiwei Wang Yan. Who made you the biggest? As a key minority, the bigger the official, the greater the responsibility.

Wang Yan, the outstanding representative of the Langyu Wang clan in the early stage, had no choice but to bite the bullet, brave the wind and rain, and lead everyone to continue eastward to return Sima Yue's coffin to the East China Sea.

Aren't you going to hit me? Okay, I'll take the initiative. When Shile learned of the situation, he immediately led the light cavalry to pursue him day and night. In April 311, Shi Le's light cavalry caught up with a mobile army led by Wang Yan at the city of Ningping in Kuxian (east of Luyi County, Henan).

The mobile army is claimed to be 100,000, but the actual strength of the fighting force is only 30,000 or 40,000. An army with the purpose of fleeing, but also with its families, the will to fight and combat effectiveness can be imagined. The cavalry of the Qiang tribe surrounded the mobile army, and Shi Le gave an order, and immediately flew with arrows. The feathered arrows were like galloping locusts, and they screamed with the fierce nightmare of death. The mobile army of horses neighed and screamed, and arrows pierced their eyes, headshots, and chests, and blood splattered in the sky, and most of them fell to death under the rain of arrows.

Wang Yan was so shocked by the scene of flesh and blood that he spasmed, and when the Qian soldiers rushed in front of him, he was already paralyzed. Back then, in Luoyang, he almost caught Shi Le, a grassroots Hu man who leaned on the door and howled, but now he was captured by Shi Le. It's really impermanent.

As mentioned above, Wang Yan is talented and famous for his Qing Talk. The Wei and Jin dynasties were an era of advocating the demeanor of celebrities and gentlemen, with unique values and aesthetics, and it is not surprising that Wang Yan was admired.

Wang Yan, the owner of the patent for the idiom "Confessional", likes to talk about the Book of Changes, Zhuangzi, and Zhou Yi, and the doctrine of the argument changes at any time. The important ministers of the state do not think about how to govern the country and talk nonsense all day long, and it is more appropriate to directly join the "Deyun Club" to say cross talk.

In addition, Wang Yanzhen is as indifferent to fame and fortune as recorded in historical records?

Qingzhou and Jingzhou, two important military locations of the Western Jin Empire, were rich in products and had an extremely important strategic position. Wang Yan once suggested to Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea: Now that the Central Plains is in turmoil, we should rely on the feudal officials in various places, so we should select competent talents to serve as localities.

Wang Yan recommended two people for the central government, one is called Wang Cheng and the other is called Wang Dun. The former is his own brother, and the latter is his uncle's brother. Wang Cheng is the history of Jingzhou Thorn, and Wang Dun is the history of Qingzhou Thorn.

Motivation and purpose? Hidden in Wang Yan's teachings to his two brothers: Jingzhou has the strength of the Yangtze River and Han water, and Qingzhou has the danger of being backed by the sea (Bohai Sea). You two are guarding the field, and I am in Beijing, so we can be called the three caves of the cunning rabbit.

Although this arrangement did not achieve its personal goals, it deeply affected the pattern of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south. Wang Dun, who had a heavy army, once attacked Jiankang and forced Emperor Yuan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to death. The Lang evil Wang clan is even more prominent in the history of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and there is a saying that "the king and the horse, the world" for a while, which will be recounted later.

Talk show actor Wang Yan was captured and brought to Shile. Shi Le looked at it, and it was really handsome and elegant. Shi Le, who considers himself a cultural dick, was faintly inferior, so as a fan, he conducted an exclusive interview with Wang Yan.

Wang Yan, who had experienced the bloody battle and horror scene, gradually eased up, and regained his demeanor as a celebrity. Talking and talking, Wang Yan was a little carried away, forgetting his true identity now, a captive rather than a nobleman.

Keep your heart and don't make mistakes, and keep your mouth and don't cause trouble. Don't talk too much when you meet people, and talk less when you see people. Wang Yanruo was calm and calm in front of Shi Le, generous, cautious in words and deeds, and maintained the demeanor of a celebrity, plus he no longer posed a threat to Shi Le, it was no problem to save his life. However, this speech boasted as he spoke.

Shi Le, as a member of the Qian tribe, has a more practical heart, and when he saw that Wang Yan blew the bull, he asked directly: Why did Jin rout?

Wang Yan, who was addicted to bragging about it, was stunned for a moment, but a celebrity is a celebrity, and he reacted very quickly, so he had to excuse himself, "I was indifferent to fame and fortune when I was young, and I didn't like to participate in political ......."

Is this a sale of abduction or a sale of cars? Fool who?! Shi Le's respect for Wang Yan was suddenly swept away, and his face changed abruptly: You are famous all over the world, you are in a heavy position, and you are young and strong to ascend to the court, as for Bai Shou, how can you say that you have not participated in the affairs of the imperial court? Now that the world is in turmoil, you are not guilty? Destroying the world is the king's sin! I've been walking on the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I've never seen someone like you!

After scolding him, Shi Le asked Wang Yan to be escorted down.

Shi Le's emphasis on the celebrity Wang Yan has long made a group of grassroots old buddies who started together very tasteful, and now when they saw that the two of them had collapsed, the staff officer Sun Chang immediately suggested: Wang Yan is the third prince of the Jin Dynasty after all, and he will definitely not do his best for us, just kill it. Shi Le agreed, but ordered: It's okay to kill Wang Yan, but you can't use a blade.

In the end, unlike the treatment of most of the mobile army brought out by Sima Yue who were shot and hacked to death, Wang Yan was crushed to death by a toppled wall at the age of 55.

When he was dying, Wang Yan realized a little way to govern the country: if we didn't advocate flashiness and vanity, and strive to help the world, we would not be where we are today.

Even the way of death pays attention to the high and low, and China's face culture is really broad and profound. However, it can be seen from the way Wang Yan was dealt with that although Shi Le was a Hu person, he respected and longed for the majestic and vast Han culture, which also affected his future ruling ideas.

"To take responsibility is to really work hard, bury your head in hard work, and never sit and talk about the Tao, just talk and not practice. I have told the story of the two Jin scholars talking about waste work many times, and Wang Yan is one of the representative figures, which can be described as outspoken and unmatched. In the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, Shi Le, the leader of the Qiang tribe, raised troops to invade Luoyang, and Wang Yan went to crusade with the army as a captain, but was defeated and captured. Shi Le asked him the reason for the defeat of the Western Jin Dynasty, and he exonerated himself in every possible way...... Later, Wang Yan was killed by Shi Le's faction, and Wang Yan lamented before his death that if he usually did not pursue vanity, but worked hard, he would not have come to this point. ...... in reality"

--- "Strive to become a pillar of talent who can be used and can take on heavy responsibilities" ("Qiushi" Issue 3, 2022), author? Our General Secretary Xi. The explanation is subtle and thought-provoking. It can be seen that this historical fact did not disappear into the dust of history with the death of Wang Yan, Sima Yue and others, but as a mirror of learning from the past and knowing the present, and showing the past and observing the past, it hangs high on the offices of the rulers of the past dynasties......

Let's go back to Schler. After Shi Le eliminated Sima Yue's mobile army, the team was further expanded, and the composition of the army was mainly composed of three parts:

The first is the lineage of the beginning, that is, the eighteen horsemen and shepherd bandits of the year, and the generals include Zhixiong, Huyanmo, Wang Yang, Taobao, Lu Ming, Kui'an, Wu Yu and others;

the second is the co-opted Zhang Du and Vollidu's subordinates;

The third is the defeat of the remnants of the Western Jin Dynasty.

Shi Le realized that it was okay for his men to fight and kill at present, but they lacked a strategist who could strategize and win thousands of miles away. The think tank has to be selected from the Han people whose ancestors wrote many art of war and national policies.

At this time, a Han man appeared.

Zhang Bin, the word Mengsun, a native of Zhongqiu in Zhao County (southwest of Gaoyi County, Hebei), Han nationality, the second generation of officials, and his father Zhang Yao was the Zhongshan Taishou of the Western Jin Dynasty. This person is well-versed in history, and he boasts that his strategy is not under the ancestor Zhang Liang, but he has not met a master like Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty.

When Zhang Bin saw Shi Le, he decided that this Hu man would be the master of troubled times, so Mao recommended himself and defected thousands of miles. When he first arrived, Zhang Bin did not attract Shi Le's special attention. Talents, in troubled times, it is easier to rise to the top, because, in troubled times, almost every day without attacking, strategists are not idle for a day, and talent cannot be hidden. After Zhang Bin repeatedly came up with good plans (the opportunity was not in vain, and there was no last resort), Shi Le gradually discovered that this Han man was his Zhang Zifang. So he obeyed his words and called him "Right Marquis". Shi Le was able to dominate the Central Plains, and the Han Zhang Bin made great contributions.

After the periphery eliminated Sima Yue's power, it was time to ask for the results of the battle from the capital of the core. And the results of the capital must not be enjoyed by the Liu family alone. Shi Le led 30,000 elite cavalry, entered from Chenggao Pass, and joined forces with Liu Yao and Wang Mi sent by Liu Cong. Target?

Luoyang, Luoyang, which was evacuated by Sima Yue to defend his forces.

In June 311, under the attack of Wang Mi and Liu Yao's tiger and wolf army, Luoyang fell, and Sima Chi, Emperor Huai of the Jin Dynasty, was captured on his way to Chang'an. This is the famous Yongjia disaster in history.

Sima Chi was sent to Pingyang to meet Liu Cong. Liu Cong, in fact, is an old acquaintance with Sima Chi, and the two met through a mutual friend. This person's name is Wang Ji. Who is Wang Ji? Wang Hun's second son, a young talent of the Taiyuan Wang family, the son-in-law of Sima Zhao of Emperor Wen of Jin, and Pei Kai's brother-in-law. As mentioned above, Situ Wang Hun is Liu Yuan's benefactor and Bole, and Wang Ji naturally became friends with Liu Cong. Wang Ji took Liu Cong to meet Sima Chi, who was still the king of Yuzhang back then. When the two met again, they were quite emotional and had a cordial conversation.

Liu Cong: When you were still the king of Yuzhang, Wang Ji and I visited you. Wang Ji introduced me to you, you said that you have heard the name for a long time, and you also studied the song with me, conducted archery competitions, and finally gave me a bow made of Zhemu and a silver research platform, Aiqing, do you remember?

Sima Chi: Chen An dares to forget it, but he hates that he didn't know Long Yan early.

Liu Cong: Why did your Sima family kill each other to such a point?

Sima Chi: This is the will of heaven, we are killing each other to remove obstacles for Your Majesty, and your Liu Han regime ascended the throne in accordance with the will of heaven.

This rainbow fart made Liu Cong very useful. Sima Chi not only saved his life, but also gave himself a senior title, Huiji County Gong, and was kept in captivity. This is not the end, Liu Cong also gave a little Liu nobleman of his family to Sima Chi as his wife.

There is a strange phenomenon in history, that is, after many emperors captured or controlled the monarchs of hostile regimes, they often gave the women of their own family to these subordinate prisoners as wives. For example, it also preceded Ming Yingzong, and Gao Huan was superior to Yuan Xiu, Yuan Shanjian, etc. Not only the emperor, but also the courtiers of the Han Dynasty, Li Ling, Li Guangli, and Su Wu, were also given a Xiongnu wife after being captured, and Li Ling and Li Guangli's Xiongnu wives were still Shan Yu's daughters. Even Yang Shilang, who was captured in the romance, also became the concubine of Da Liao. I don't know what kind of psychology this is, is it because my own women can't get married ugly? Lao Wang has not studied it, and the princes can realize themselves.

From the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty to the Huiji County Duke of the Huns, and he also hugged the woman of the Hun royal family, it seems that Sima Chi's life safety has been guaranteed. However, the king of the dead country, even if he is as small as a mouse and humble as an ant, a little thing can trigger the sensitivity of the nerves of those in power.

On the first day of the first lunar month of 313, Liu Cong invited the ministers to a banquet in the Guangji Palace, perhaps with intention to humiliate, or perhaps because he felt that letting the emperor pour wine from the previous dynasty would raise the level of the banquet. Several former ministers of the Western Jin Dynasty saw it and couldn't help but cry.

The pinnacle produces hypocritical advocacy, and the twilight witnesses the true apostles. The behavior of these former ministers can be called loyalty. However, this really killed Sima Chi.

First, these people were already used by the new regime at that time, and they had such feelings for the former deposed emperor, which naturally aroused the disgust of the current boss Liu Cong; The second is when you cry and cry at the banquet organized by the boss, isn't it the thatched house that lights up - looking for (death)?

Liu Cong quickly responded: the former ministers were executed for conspiracy and rebellion. Then, he gave Sima Chi a cup of poisoned wine. Sima Chi, died, only 29 years old, 10 years worse than the average age of ancient emperors, and his burial place is unknown.

Luoyang and Chang'an are a pair of sister cities chosen by the Central Plains Dynasty. After the news of the poisoning of Emperor Huai of the Jin Dynasty, a group of ministers established Sima Chi's nephew Sima Ye as emperor in Chang'an in April 313.

However, at this time, most of the royal family and scholars of the Western Jin Dynasty had moved to Jiangnan, and the regime of Chang'an was extremely weak, not much stronger than the Southern Ming Dynasty in later generations. However, the 13-year-old Emperor Sima Ye of the Jin Dynasty, who was an aspiring teenager, decided to launch a general offensive against the Xiongnu Han State and recover the Central Plains.

Taking stock of the nominal military strength of the Western Jin Dynasty at this time, there are mainly three forces, which are divided into the south, northwest and north.

The first force came from the south, and the speaker was Sima Rui.

Sima Rui, whose name is Jingwen, is the great-grandson of Sima Yi, who succeeded to the throne at the age of 15 as the evil king of Lang. After the situation in the Central Plains deteriorated, the life of the Sima clan began to be difficult, but Sima Rui was luckier than others in that he had a good friend with a unique vision.

Wang Dao, an outstanding representative of the Langya Wang family. Wang Dao calmly observed the current situation, put forward a proposal to Sima Rui that was enough to affect the entire course of Chinese history--- went to the imperial court, and asked to guard Jianye (now Nanjing, Jiangsu) and take root in the south.

In 307, the Western Jin Dynasty issued an edict approving the appointment of Sima Rui as the general of Anton and the governor of Yangzhou. Sima Rui went south in September, and with the assistance of Wang Dao and Wang Dun, the brothers of the Langya Wang family, Youli the local scholars, suppressed the rebellion, and carefully managed, which can be regarded as establishing a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River. Later, he was called the emperor and established the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

In this period of history, the young people in the historical circles gave it an extremely artistic name - white-clothed south-crossing, and derivatives include "Yiguan Nandu", "white-clothed river" and so on.

The second force came from the northwest region, and the person who spoke was Sima Bao, the king of Nanyang.

Sima Bao, the word Jingdu, his great-grandfather is Sima Yi's brother Sima Kui, and his father is Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang. Hereditary as the king of Nanyang, named the Great Sima, the right prime minister, the governor of the capital, the governor of Shaanxi military, can be called the "king of the northwest", Hu Zongnan of the Western Jin Dynasty, and Sima Rui are listed as the two major local powerful royal family members in the late Western Jin Dynasty.

Sima Rui's characteristic is that he can make friends, and his friend Wang Dao has even become his life mentor, and Sima Bao also has an outstanding advantage in Sima's royal family.

He eats the best. This old man was fat and once weighed himself eight hundred pounds. However, as soon as a person is fat, he is prone to two problems:

One is drowsiness. High blood lipids and blood viscosity will reduce the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, resulting in a decrease in the oxygen content of the brain, and it is easy to experience fatigue and drowsiness. Sima Bao, a super fat man, is naturally the master of the Sima royal family, and his hobby is to sleep all day long. There may be classmates who will lift the bar, why am I so thin and sleepy all day long? Then you have to check how many hours a day you watch Douyin, Kuaishou and Toutiao, or how many small videos you secretly watch.

The second is impotence. There is a small amount of estrogen in normal men, and the increase in body fat in obese people makes more male hormones turn into estrogen, and the concentration in the blood can be about doubled. The decrease in male hormones led to sexual dysfunction, and as a result, Sima Bao had no children. Seeing this, there are no more students raising the bar, right? In contrast, if you feel the same way, hurry up and lose weight.

Fat, lethargic, and unmasculine, such people are usually undisciplined, cowardly, and indecisive.

The third force, in the north where aliens are rampant, is the talker, Liu Kun, the assassin of Youzhou, and Wang Jun, the assassin of Youzhou.

In Youzhou in the Jin Dynasty, the administrative command center was Jixian County, so the site was near Guang'anmen in the southwest of the urban area of present-day Beijing, and the jurisdiction was equivalent to the present-day Beijing City, northern Hebei, southern Liaoning and northwest Korea.

In the Jin Dynasty, the administrative command center was in Jinyang, the site was in Jinyuan District, Taiyuan City, and the state led Taiyuan, Shangdang, Xihe, Yanmen, Leping, and Xinxing six counties, and the jurisdiction was roughly equivalent to the whole territory of Shanxi and some areas of Hebei and Inner Mongolia.

In ancient times, Youzhou and Bingzhou were collectively called Youzhou, because they were located in the border fortress, and the people were fierce, and a group of rangers and righteous men who took helping to solve problems and serving the country as their own responsibility were produced, and they were called "Youyou and Guest".

"By asking whose son, the ghost and the ranger" - Cao Zhi. "White Horse Chapter".

"Never quiet and guest, all the dust and sand are old"--Wang Changling. "Plugged Song".

Youzhou Assassin Wang Jun and his people have been described before, and Liu Kun, the assassin of Youzhou, is more necessary to introduce.

If you are still a little unfamiliar with the name Liu Kun, then anyone who has completed nine years of compulsory education, even if you read the history textbook illustrated by the Renjiao version, will have heard of the allusions of "smelling the chicken and dancing" and "what does it mean to refine the rigidity and turn into a soft finger", and the copyright owner of these allusions is Liu Kun.

Liu Kun, whose name is Yueshi, is a descendant of Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan Jing in the Western Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei is of the same origin. He had a good friend, named Zu Li, a famous angry youth and patriot in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Liu Zu and the two often lie in the same bed, talk about their ideals, and dance when they smell the chickens.

Liu Kun is not only a hot-blooded young man, but also a literary and artistic young man, he is a member of the Jingu Literature Society (one of the 24 friends of Jingu). He is proficient in music and rhythm, and his work "Hu Ji Five Alleys" is famous all over the world. His famous sentence before his death, "What does it mean to refine the rigidity and turn into a finger twisting softness", which has also been passed down through the ages.

Liu Kun was ordered to arrive in Jinyang in 307 and served as the assassin of Bingzhou. This is an extremely dangerous appointment. At that time, the merger of states, surrounded by strong enemies:

To the south, was the powerful Xiongnu Liu regime.

To the north, there is the Dai Kingdom established by Tuoba Xianbei, who is rising and ready to touch the Central Plains at any time.

To the east, there is Wang Jun, the assassin of Youzhou, who is allied with the Xianbei of Duanbu.

If you are four-legged, you can only choose to ally with one of them. The Xiongnu Liu clan is a mortal enemy, and Duan Xianbei is Wang Jun's, so only Tuoba Xianbei remains. Liu Kun then formed an alliance with Tuoba Yilu, the leader of Tuoba Xianbei.

During the merger of states, Liu Kun had fought with Shi Le of the Liu regime of the Xiongnu many times, and also created an allusion to Hu Ji saving the lonely city.

Once, tens of thousands of Hun soldiers surrounded Taiyuan. Liu Kun led his troops to defend on the one hand, and on the other hand, he repaired the book and asked for reinforcements. A few days later, the reinforcements were nowhere to be seen, and the city was short of food and grass, and the people were panicking. Liu Kun climbed the city tower at night, looked down at the enemy company camps one after another under the bright moonlight, and fell into deep thought.

Chu and Han compete for hegemony, embattled, sudden inspiration! Liu Kun immediately ordered: All the sergeants who can blow the curly leaves and Hu Ji will report to the city tower and blow "Hu Ji Five Alleys" towards the Hun military camp!

The Huns fought for many years, homesick, and listened to the commotion of the army, many soldiers fled in groups overnight, and the difficulty of attacking the city was also greater, and finally withdrew from the siege.

This story has even been included in today's primary school Chinese textbooks (Volume 10 of the Shanghai Education Edition). Is the story true or false?

Music, which causes an autonomic response from the brain, which is responsible for human emotions and feelings, causes emotions to change. In ancient Greece, people believed that a high tone, a plaintive b, a gentle c, a warm d, a stable e, and a g, could arouse different emotions. Aristotle, a great philosopher and science, was the most admiring of the C tone, believing that it was the most suitable for cultivating sentiments.

Mozart's music, presumably enjoyed by many people, especially when fatigue when listening to his music, can make people adrenaline enter the bloodstream, causing the brain to excite, so that fatigue can be reduced. And "Black Sunday", a popular music in Britain that year, caused many people to commit suicide after listening to it.

Therefore, Lao Wang believes that the story of Hu Ji saving the lonely city has an exaggerated component, but it also has a real basis. After all, the music of the hometown can remind the wanderers of the call of their mothers and the thoughts of their wives, and it is normal that it can be imagined that it will kill the hearts of the army that have been away for a long time.

Liu Kun, a young man of literature and art, has the ambition to serve the country and has the determination to restore the country, but Wang Jun, the assassin of Youzhou, may not think so.

Wang Jun, as the assassin of Youzhou, overlapped with the jurisdiction of Liu Kun, the assassin of Bingzhou. Due to the shortage of soldiers, Liu Kun ordered his clansman Liu Xi to recruit troops in the Zhongshan area, and Daijun, Shanggu and Guangning counties all surrendered to Liu Kun.

Most animals are territorial, such as felines, and will leave various marks in their perceived territory, or rub their heads and bodies everywhere to leave a smell and swear sovereignty. Wang Jun's territorial consciousness is also the same as that of beasts, and even more sensitive. Liu Kun's recruitment behavior, in his eyes, is not to protect his family and defend the country. Rather, the tailor does not bring a ruler - he does not measure (good) with his heart, and he is here to grab the land.

Wang Jun immediately withdrew from the army that had been attacking Shile and instead killed Liu Xi and dispersed his gathered men.

The soldiers recruited with great difficulty are gone, and Liu Kun regrets it very much. But what else? Is the enemy currently engaged in infighting? For the sake of the overall situation, Liu Kun can only tolerate what Wang Jun did.

There is Sima Rui in the south, Sima Bao in the west, and there is the history of the two assassins in the north, although the city of Luoyang was captured and Emperor Huai of Jin was killed, but after the accession of Emperor Sima Ye Chang'an of the Jin Dynasty, the remnants of the Western Jin Dynasty are still powerful from the analysis of paper strength.

The young emperor Sima Ye was full of ambition and ordered Sima Rui, the evil king of Lang, to preside over the military forces in eastern Shaanxi, and sent a three-way army to attack Liu Cong, who captured Luoyang, the capital of the Western Jin Dynasty.

The specific battle plan is:

1. On the East Road, Sima Rui in the south led an army of 200,000 to attack Luoyang;

2. On the west road, Sima Bao in the northwest led 300,000 troops from Qin, Liang and Yongzhou to clear the periphery of Chang'an;

3. On the North Road, Liu Kun attacked Pingyang with 100,000 troops from Fayou and Erzhou.

The three-way recovery army, like three daggers with cold light, stabbed at the vital points of the Huns' body at the same time, if they are of one heart and one mind, their strength cannot be underestimated.

However, there are three armies, one idea all the way.

Sima Rui, who served as the commander-in-chief of the Guangfu Army, refused to send troops. Cause? What did I do when I crossed the river to Jiangnan? Isn't it just that you want to cut off the south of the Yangtze River and completely cut off from your north? Sima Rui was very unimpressed by the orders of Sima Ye, a nephew who was 24 years younger than him.

Sima Bao, the fat boy commander of the Western Route Army? I can't sleep enough every day, so I asked him to go to Luoyang to shout and kill, and he didn't do it.

The three-way army, the two-way Sima family's own family members were passive and slacking off, and only Liu Kun, who was not from the royal family, attacked with all his might according to the edict.

Liu Kun first joined forces with the allied Xianbei Yilu to Jinyang, and then attacked Pingyang in two ways. One was led by Liu Kun himself, along the Xihe River (the Yellow River flows north-south) to the south to attack Xiping (now west of Linfen City, Shanxi); One was led by Xianbei's ally Tuoba Yilu and went straight to Pingyang.

Liu Cong knew the situation of the Western Jin Dynasty Guangfu Army well, Sima Rui and Sima Bao were lazy at all, and they freed up their hands to attack Liu Kun's Northern Route Army with all their might.

Liu Cong's battle plan was: the general Liu Cang blocked Liu Kun; Lan Yang, the general of the Dang Jin Dynasty, assisted in guarding Xiping; The hussar general Liu Yi blocked the Xianbei Tuoba Yilu.

The two Northern Route Armies of Liu Kun and Tuoba Yilu fought with Liu Cong and fell into a stalemate, and their advance was blocked. Sima Rui and Sima Bao were playing stealth again, without active cooperation, and the North Route Army returned in a huff.

In this way, the last large-scale counterattack of the Xiongnu and Han organizations by the Western Jin Dynasty was declared aborted.

More than 1,600 years later, the Qing army entered the customs and the Southern Ming Dynasty was established. Although it was founded in a hurry, it has a land area of 2.5 million square kilometers and a population of hundreds of millions. Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, the four towns of Jiangbei such as Gao Jie, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, and Liu Zeqing, Zuo Liangyu of Wuhan, and Zheng Zhilong of the southeast coast, had a total of nearly 1 million troops. And how many people are in the opponent's Qing army plus the traitor Wu Sangui's troops? But 150,000.

The strength of the force was 6:1, which should have been a crushing trend. However, the Southern Ming Dynasty inherited the glorious tradition of the previous dynasty - party strife. This internal detached and intriguing regime finally lasted only 18 years before it collapsed.

It is said that the building will fall, and no one can save it, however, how the building is tilted is more worthy of deep thought.

You can't beat me, it's my turn to beat you. The Western Jin Dynasty Guangfu Army missed a hook and almost flashed his waist, and Liu Cong began to fight back. He, with a straight punch, smashed straight into Chang'an.

In August 316, the Xiongnu army Liu Yao began to besiege Chang'an. Foreign enemies are rampant, princes from all over the country have no will to dedicate themselves, and the generals of the Quartet have no action to serve the king, and Kyoto is in danger. In November, in the middle of winter, the weather was cold, the north wind was howling, and the city of Chang'an was desolate. The walls collapsed, the grass and thorns were everywhere, and there was no life, no smoke, and no laughter. The food was exhausted, and Sima Ye was dizzy from hunger, so he could only drink water to satisfy his hunger, but the more he drank, the more hungry he became. The courtiers searched the warehouse and found a few pieces of koji in the corner.

The raw materials for the production of koji are rice, barley, wheat, etc., and the eunuchs grind these treasures into powder and boil a pot of porridge to satisfy Sima Ye's hunger. 16-year-old Sima Ye held a bowl and gobbled up koji porridge with a sour taste of alcohol, and large tears fell into the bowl, splashing bursts of turbid porridge and blurring the young emperor's cheeks......

The koji brings a slight drunkenness, and the porridge also temporarily brings a feeling of satiety. But Emperor Sima Ye of the Jin Dynasty knew very well in his heart that Chang'an could no longer refuse. "Now that poverty is like this, there is no rescue outside, let us endure shame and surrender, and live the people." Sima Ye smashed the porridge bowl and decided to surrender.

The sense of ritual of surrendering is very strong - Sima Ye is shirtless, with a jade wall in his mouth, riding a sheep cart, and having people carry a coffin behind the car. Tragic and miserable. The ministers of the Western Jin Dynasty surrounded the sheep cart and cried loudly. Some ministers climbed into the car, grabbed Sima Ye's arm, and prevented him from leaving the city.

His arm hurt when he was pinched by the ministers, but Sima Ye's heart hurt even more. Unable to overcome himself, he pushed away the ministers, drove the sheep out of the city gate, and went straight to the Xiongnu military camp. In the past, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty Sima Yan rode a sheep cart in the palace and wantonly visited the house to play with women, but he didn't expect that less than 50 years later, his descendants also got on the sheep cart and became humiliated people who surrendered to Huying.

What is the treatment of the king of the dead country? When Liu Cong went out hunting, he let Sima Ye wear his whole body and hold a halberd in his hand, as a guide, which was equivalent to the treatment of the captain of the honor guard. When the people of the Western Jin Dynasty saw it, they watched and wept bitterly.

Crying and crying, the emperor cries, the ministers cry, the people also cry, crying is useful, what are the copyright owners of these allusions to lying on the salary, trying to make the country prosperous, and the head of the cantilevered beam and thorn stocks? !

In February 318, the Guangji Hall of Chang'an staged a familiar and destined sooner or later drama - "Kill the old emperor with a glass of wine".

Liu Cong will feast the ministers in the Guangji Palace, and the treatment of Emperor Jin Chu? Like Emperor Huai of Jin back then, he put on green clothes and poured wine and washed cups for everyone. This is not the end, Liu Cong also has an innovation, when he went to the toilet, he ordered Emperor Jin Shu to open the toilet lid for him, so that Sima Ye changed from the captain of the honor guard to a hotel waiter.

The influence of the Confucian loyalty to the monarch and patriotism was too deep, and before Emperor Huai of the Jin Dynasty was humiliated, several former ministers wept and protested even if they were killed. This time, Xin Bin, the former Shang Shulang of the Western Jin Dynasty, took the lead and couldn't stand it anymore and cried loudly.

Cry, cry, cry, you Han people will cry. Liu Cong was distraught by crying, and ordered someone to drag Xin Bin out and behead him. Xin Bin lost his head himself, and also cried Sima Ye's life, becoming a well-deserved mourner. Sima Ye, the 18-year-old Emperor of Jin, was executed by Liu Cong's order. Burial place? Unknown.

At this point, the Western Jin Dynasty, which had only lasted for 51 years, was officially declared extinct.

During this period, there is also a historical detail that is worth mentioning. Liu Yuan, Liu Cong and his son, regarded themselves as the descendants of Liu Chan, and the Western Jin Dynasty perished, which seemed to have avenged Shu Han. However, of Liu Chan's seven sons, except for three who died early, the other four sons, the second son Liu Yao, the fourth son Liu Zhan, the sixth son Liu Xun, and the seventh son Liu Xuan, all died in the Yongjia Rebellion.

Is this to avenge the old Liu family, or to destroy the old Liu family?
