Liu Kun's strength had been exhausted in the last war, at least in Liu Kun's opinion, as long as Zu Li crossed the Yellow River to the north to attack Liu Cong, then he would not have to retreat at all, but would exhaust the vitality of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms.

It was precisely because of Zu Li's retreat that Liu Congming Bai Zu Qi must have encountered an unstoppable force, and this order could only come from Sima Rui.

Therefore, after being defeated this time, Liu Kun chose to let go and didn't want to fight anymore.

After all, not everyone is Liu Bei, who has been defeated in a hundred battles, and at the age of fifty or sixty, he still firmly believes that he can create a great cause, and firmly believes that he can save the Han family when Cao Cao has unified the entire north of the Yellow River.

Therefore, Liu Kun has long been determined to live and die, defend Jinyang, the last inch of territory in the north, and live and die with the city.

For Liu Kun, this is the best destination, so Lu Chen's arrival, for Liu Kun, will allow those young subordinates such as Wen Qiao and his son Liu Qun to escape.

As for whether they chose to go south to the Jin court, or temporarily attached themselves to Liu Tai's side, Liu Kun didn't care.

Because the exchange between Liu Kun and Liu Tai supplemented Liu Tai's political foundation, and through the exchange with Lu Chen, he understood Liu Tai's attitude towards Hu Han.

Therefore, Liu Kun firmly believes more than anyone else that Liu Tai will definitely oppose this hypocrite.

Liu Kun arranged for Lu Chen to evacuate Jinyang with his juniors, and some of the people who voluntarily left were also evacuated.

Let's go if you can, everyone who has been in Jinyang knows what will happen when the alien race captures the city.

This place in Jinyang had only been slaughtered once a few years ago, and no one would be glad that the aliens were happy.

Of course, some people are gone, and some people will not choose to leave, and like Liu Kun, they choose to live and die with Jinyang.

For this, Liu Kun will not stop it.

After all, Liu Kun originally planned that if he had no soldiers in his hands, then he would go directly to the city to kill himself, and if he had soldiers in his hands, he would fight until the last moment.

As for the others, as long as Lu Chen can take away, then take it for as long as he wants!

To be honest, Lu Chen didn't expect that he originally just wanted Liu Kun to evacuate, but he wanted to organize the evacuation of the people of Jinyang.

Fortunately, Zhao An was notified, and the army responded, although the road was in a hurry, but the danger was not high.

After all, the really dangerous section is not the entire section from Jinyang to Youzhou City, but from Jinyang to Daijun.

Entering Daijun, which is the area of the Tuoba tribe, although it is in a military disorder, there is no danger with Zhao An's troops leading the way.

As for Shile, they would not intervene in the chaos of the Tuoba tribe unless they had to.

The most important thing is that if they are exterminated by several troops in Daijun, Liu Tai can completely push it to the Tuoba tribe, and it has nothing to do with Liu Tai anyway.

Speaking of which, why Liu Tai asked Ge Xin to train in Youzhou is not because he is ready to support the opening of the film at any time.

And as Lu Chen left with about nearly 10,000 people, including the people who were willing to leave Jinyang, Liu Kun looked at the people of Bingzhou who left, took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Li Hong, and said, "You are still here?" ”

"Am I so unbearable in your eyes?" When Li Hong heard Liu Kun's words, he couldn't help gritting his teeth.

Liu Kun just smiled calmly and said, "It's just strange, after all, this is your last chance." ”

"Someone has to collect your body!" Li Hong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "Suffer a little loss, after you wipe your neck, I will go to open the door and surrender to Shile, I may not be able to save your head at that time, but I will bury your body well." ”

"Then I'll trouble you after my death!" Liu Kun said to Li Hong.

After losing the protection of the Tuoba tribe, Shile's attack on Liu Kun was almost unhindered.

Or that Liu Kun's remaining strength is not enough to cause any obstacles to Shi Le, and Shi Le almost unimpeded to attack Jinyang City.

Liu Kun and the whole city of soldiers and civilians defended the city and fought bloodily, but they were still attacked by Shile until they ran out of ammunition and food, and Liu Kun killed himself in the city.

Changshi Li Hong took Liu Kun's head and dedicated it to Shi Le, expressing his hope that Liu Kun could be buried.

Shi Le respected Liu Kun and chose to re-sew Liu Kun's head.

After digging a cave for Liu Kun to be buried, Li Hong himself drew his sword and killed himself in front of Liu Kun's curtain and died in front of Liu Kun's tomb.

Shi Le has always respected the Han people with integrity, so Shi Le buried Li Hong next to Liu Kun's grave.

At this moment, Shile successfully subdued and annexed the state, and there was no longer a foothold for the Jin court north of the Yellow River.

The news of Liu Kun's martyrdom in Jinyang had just come out in the Kanto region, and people didn't even have time to be sad.

Liu Yao broke through Chang'an, Sima Ye had white jade in his mouth, and the news of surrendering out of the city swept the world.

Compared with the power of the Western Jin Dynasty's counterattack last year, this year's Xiongnu Han Kingdom completely wiped out the Jin court forces in the north.

Although Liu Yao was kneaded by the Xianbei cavalry in the war in the north, if he beat the Jin court, it would be a dimensionality reduction blow.

Soon after Zu Ti retreated from Luoyang, Liu Yao recaptured Luoyang, Liu Yao did not have any rest, and immediately advised Liu Cong to attack Chang'an, and after Liu Cong agreed, Liu Yao began to organize an army to besiege Chang'an.

Some of the soldiers in the nearby counties were too timid to go, and some were directly defeated by Liu Yao's cavalry, and no one went.

Among them, Sima Bao, the king of Nanyang, sent Hu Song to the rescue, and defeated Liu Yao's army and rescued Luoyang.

But the time that Hu Song gained by defeating Liu Yao was simply not enough for the strife within the imperial court.

Whether to go or stay, there is still no result, at least Suo Qi, who controls the imperial court, does not want Sima Ye to break free from his grasp.

Time passed, Liu Yao regained the initiative after increasing his troops, formed a new encirclement network, and occupied the outer city of Chang'an, forcing Suo Qi and Ju Yun and others to retreat to the small city of Chang'an to protect themselves.

Under Liu Yao's siege and lack of food, there was a lack of food, soldiers fled, and even people ate people.

In the entire small city, there was nothing left except the dead and the last forces of the Jin court.

Even in this situation, Koji Yun smashed the koji cake brewed in Taicang and boiled it into porridge for Sima Ye to drink.

Sima Ye persevered for a few days, until the qu cake was eaten up, and he personally felt that hunger was coming, and cried and said to Ju Yun:

"Now that the situation has reached this point, there is no rescue outside, and it is appropriate for me to die for the community, but thinking that the soldiers have suffered so much, we should take advantage of the fall of the city and do a whole thing, so that the people in the city can avoid the suffering of slaughter!"

When Ju Yun heard Sima Ye's words, he really wanted to say that there were no living people in the city, or he wanted to say, you might as well learn from Cao Rui.

But in the end, it turned into a silent sigh, and only called Zong Chang in the service and asked Zong Chang to surrender.

It's just that Suo Qi, the real controller of the army in the city, got the news and arrested Zong Chang, who was going out of the city.

After receiving this letter, Suo Qi ordered his son to send an envoy and said to Liu Yao, who was besieging the city:

"Now that there is enough food in the city for a year, you can't take it easily.

But if you promise to make Suo Qi the general of the chariot cavalry, the three divisions of Yitong, and the prince of the ten thousand households of Shiyi, then the city will surrender to you. ”

Liu Yao couldn't help but feel ridiculous when he heard this, and directly killed Suo Qi's son and returned it to Suo Qi:

"The army of the emperor marches with righteousness, and in the fifteen years I have led the army, I have not tried to defeat the opponent with false news and trickery, but only overwhelm the opponent with military force.

If you feel that the food is not exhausted, you can barely hold on; But if there is a shortage of food and the army is weak, then it is better to obey the destiny of heaven as soon as possible.

I'm afraid that if my majesty is shaken, the jade will be destroyed. ”

Soon, Sima Ye, who ran out of food, sighed: "Those who mislead me, Ju and Suo Ergong!" ”

Then he took a sheep cart, took off his shirt, took off his mouth, and the attendants carried the coffin and surrendered out of the city.

In the imperial history, Cheng Jilang couldn't stand it and committed suicide, Liu Yao burned the coffin, accepted the jade bi, and let Zong Chang serve Emperor Jin to return to the palace.

Soon, Suo Qi and Lu Yun were escorted to Pingyang with Sima Ye.

Liu Cong ascended the hall, Ju Yun looked at Sima Ye in front of him, kowtowed and bowed to Liu Cong, and couldn't help crying on the ground and couldn't get up.

When Liu Cong saw this scene, he imprisoned Lu Yun in prison, and Lu Yun committed suicide in anger.

Liu Cong praised Lu Yun's loyalty and posthumously presented him as the general of the chariot and cavalry, and was nicknamed the Marquis of Jie.

As for Suo Qi, who has always held the military power and controlled Sima Ye, when Liu Cong first went to the court, he thought that Suo Qi was disloyal to the Jin Dynasty to ask for a high position in the enemy country on the condition of surrendering the city, so he executed Suo Qi in Pingyang East City.

In the end, Liu Cong came to an end for the last court struggle for power in the Western Jin Dynasty.

As for Sima Ye, he didn't want the last dignity after the final emperor surrendered.

Liu Cong went out hunting, he was the halberd who opened the way, Liu Cong held a banquet, he was the wine servant who delivered wine, and even if Liu Cong went to the toilet, Sima Ye was responsible for taking the toilet seat, which was humiliating to the extreme.

But even so, Liu Cong still did not let Sima Ye go, and finally executed Sima Ye.

It can be said that Liu Taiping, Wang Jun, Shi Le's killing of Liu Kun, and Liu Yao's capture of Sima Ye made the Western Jin Dynasty's power in the north completely annihilated.

The Xiongnu Han State started from Pingyang and fought all the way to the peak of its national power, at least on the surface, having obtained all the territory of Cao Wei before the Battle of Chibi.

Liu Yao relied on his exploits this time, which was enough to rank with Liu Taishile, and the military tripartite forces once again formed a new checks and balances.

At this moment, Liu Cong completely sat back and started his career of continuing to indulge in pleasures.

And Sima Rui, who was in Jiangdong, heard the news, and his heart was happy, no, excited.

Immediately, he sent a conquest document to various places, and he even put on his armor himself, took the army to sleep in the wilderness, and set a time for the expedition.

Zu Ti sharpened his sword Huo Huo, straightened out the army, and waited for Sima Rui to lead the army to converge and let himself conquer the Xiongnu Han Kingdom.

As a result, at that time, I didn't know why the waterways in Jiangnan had always been unblocked and helpless.

The superintendent Shi Chun Yubo was like the grain transporter Wang Yuan, who helped Cao Cao conceal the lack of grain and grass, and killed him in the name of missing the deadline.

The executioner rubbed the pillar with a knife, and the blood flowed upstream, until it flowed down for more than two zhang, and the people who watched thought that Chun Yubo was wronged.

Liu Kui said: "Chun Yubo's crime is not to death, please be exempted from the official position of Zhonglang Zhou and others." ”

Sima Rui naturally knew that Chun Yubo should not die, but Liu Wei's steps alone were not enough.

So the right general Wang Dao and others admitted their mistakes and asked to be relieved of their posts.

At this time, Sima Ruicai said: "The improper punishment of the government decree is caused by my confusion and ignorance. "Forgive the people of their faults.

Naturally, everyone would not blame Sima Rui, and no one mentioned that Sima Rui, who had not even stepped out of the Jiangnan boundary, continued the Northern Expedition.

The play has been done, the posture has been shown, and it is natural to return to Jianye City, and then play music and dance!

Only Zu Ti waited in the north for Sima Rui to turn with him, and then went north to recover Luoyang, and finally waited for a helpless sigh.

Zu Ti completely understood that no one in the combination of Wang Dao and Sima Clan on the south side of the Yangtze River wanted to go on the Northern Expedition and regain the lost territory, they only wanted to hide in Gou'an in the Jiangnan region, which inevitably made Zu Ti feel deep despair.

But what can Zu Ti do, Zu Ti can only grit his teeth, from the integration of the dock fort and the group of Kou south of the Yellow River, first reorganize the defense line south of the Yellow River

In this desperate night, someone needs to raise a torch to welcome the dawn.

It can be said that in this year alone, the situation in the whole world has changed greatly, and Liu Tai did not expect that he only got married, Liu Kun was destroyed, Sima Ye was captured, the Western Jin Dynasty was completely destroyed, and the power of the Xiongnu and Han Dynasty overwhelmed the whole world.

Liu Tai didn't panic much, on the contrary, he was a little interested.

At this time, Liu Cong can be said to have all kinds of authority, does he have the courage to let Liu Yao take the army, come to a cunning rabbit and kill the lackey, and completely force himself or Shi Le, so as to integrate the military power of the Xiongnu and Han States.

It's just that what I waited for was the news that Liu Yao was named the king of Qin, and then attacked Longxi, Shi Le was named the king of Zhao, ordered to attack the south of the Yellow River, and he was named the king of Qi and attacked Pingzhou.

After hearing the news, Liu Tai couldn't help but smile, Liu Cong didn't choose to start in the end.

It's just that Liu Tai's eyes have also been on Pingzhou, in recent years, Murong Diao has claimed to be a big single in Xiuming political affairs, developing farming, developing education, and promoting talents.

Especially after opening up the route by himself, from time to time some people smuggled into Liaodong by boat.

Because Liu Tai needed a map over there, he conveniently planted people on these smuggling merchant ships to determine the shipping route, and easily exchanged it for his own people to trade with Murong Diao.

Murong Diao is naturally wary, but the problem is that there are fewer and fewer old traders, so he can only trade with these newcomers.

He felt that no one should be able to look up to him in the garbage place of Pingzhou, so he also traded generously.

If he wanted to attack Murong Diao, Liu Tai could attack at any time with the route he mastered.

But Liu Tai did not, but began to vigorously buy local ginseng, jade, fur and other affairs, and began to trade with the locals with various luxury goods such as snowflake salt, Qingzhou cloth, raindrop porcelain, etc., to maintain a good relationship with them.

Liu Tai hoped that he would try not to go directly to the game, but let Duan's Xianbei and Murong Xianbei clash and contain to ensure the safety of the back road.

After all, in the final analysis, the value of occupying Pingzhou by yourself is even higher than the value of sending troops yourself, and the cost of maintaining the local area is even more amazing, after all, there are too many muddy lands in Liaodong now, and even if you build and maintain it, the cost is too high.

All he wants to ensure is that his own course will not be attacked by the other party, and now it is enough to have the Duan Clan Xianbei to contain him.

If you really want to subdue it, you can wait until the country is reunified to deal with it, and now it is good to continue to use the economy to control the other party.

In contrast, Liu Tai was more curious about when the contradictions within the Xiongnu and Han kingdoms broke out.

After all, the Xiongnu Han State did not unify the world in history, and now that the Western Jin Dynasty has been destroyed, Sima Rui is afraid that the Eastern Jin Dynasty will also be established, but the Xiongnu Han Kingdom is still so thriving, which makes Liu Tai feel for a moment that this is not the history he knows at all!

"Could it be that because of his own existence, the internal contradictions have been calmed down?"

This made Liu Tai inevitably doubt himself a little, but no matter what, wait until Liu Cong dies, and then see how the situation in the world changes!
