Chapter 300: The Wangdun Rebellion
Zhao Anqi attacked Yuzhou, at this time Yuzhou was transferred by Dai Yuan a large number of soldiers, when Zhao Anqi attacked, Yuzhou did not have much resistance at all.
In addition, Zhao An implemented the policy of fighting local tyrants and dividing the land, and soon attracted some northern refugees who had escaped to Yuzhou.
This made the process of occupying Yuzhou extremely smooth, and in a blink of an eye, it changed from an invader to a landowner.
Especially when these northern refugees saw Zhao Anzhen giving them the fields of the wealthy family, the northern refugees immediately changed into a flattering smile, General Zhao, go this way, there is a wealthy family here.
Zhao An didn't hesitate much, and immediately surrounded Huan Xuan's hometown with his soldiers, and packed all the people who had a little blood relationship with him and sent them to Liu Tai.
At that time, whether Liu Tai wants to deter Huan Xuan, or whether he wants to persuade Huan Xuan to surrender, it has nothing to do with Zhao An anyway.
For Zhao An, all he had to do was to take advantage of the emptiness of Yuzhou's troops at this moment, attack the city as much as possible, and then collect as much grain and grass as possible.
When the grain and grass harvested in the autumn were harvested by themselves, the Jin court wanted to take back the counties of Yuzhou for a short time, which would be a bit of a fool's dream.
Just when Zhao An's campaign was going well, he directly intercepted a group of families who had fled from the south.
The leader even claimed to be Liu Kui, who could inform the latest situation of Wang Dun's rebellion, but this made Zhao An stunned.
Because Wang Dun's crusade against the Jin court was in the name of crusading against Diao Xie and Liu Kui, but now Liu Kui actually escaped.
What does this mean? It shows that Wang Dun's rebellion must have been won by Wang Dun, so this kind of thing happened!
At this time, Zhao An did not hesitate, and immediately sent a fast horse to send Liu Kui to Liu Tai, so that Liu Wei could report to Liu Tai about the beginning and end of the Wang Dun Rebellion, and what was the situation on the Jin Court's side now.
To be honest, Liu Tai and the others were more or less stunned when they saw Zhao An sending Liu Kui over.
After all, Liu Kui and Diao Xie can almost be regarded as Sima Rui's masterminds against the family, but now Liu Kui actually came over.
Liu Tai didn't hesitate much, and said decisively: "Mr. Liu, can you tell me what happened to the Jin Court?" ”
Liu Kui saluted Liu Tai, and then said, "King Qihan, I will definitely know everything and say everything." ”
And Liu Kui immediately followed Liu Tai to talk about the whole Wang Dun Rebellion.
First of all, he and Diao Xie assisted Sima Rui in implementing the policy of "using the law to control the subordinates", and implemented a series of "broken policies" of "respecting the superior and suppressing the inferior, and suppressing the powerful", to compete with the Langya Wang clan and other gate valve forces.
This led to Wang Dao, the representative of the Langya Wang clan in the imperial court, being alienated by Sima Rui, which directly intensified the contradiction between Wang Dun and Sima Rui.
For this reason, Wang Dun also wrote a special letter, saying that His Majesty should be close to the virtuous ministers, far from the villain, and discuss matters with Wang Dao, and not mix with Diao Xie and Liu Kui.
Sima Rui's mood at that time was absolutely, are you teaching me to do things?!
However, in the eyes of Diao Xie and Liu Kui, this is more like deliberately handing over an excuse to kill Wang Dao, so as to facilitate Wang Dun's army.
Therefore, Sima Rui not only did not blame, but increased the reward to both Wang Dun and Wang Dao, but he was even more estranged.
With the implementation of the Shattered Rule, there was opposition from both the local families and those who moved north.
And when Wang Dun saw this scene, and added the death of Zu Ti, he was decisively reversed.
Of course, Wang Dun's banner was naturally on the side of Qingjun, and he aimed at Liu Kui and Diao Xie, saying that as long as Sima Rui killed Liu Kui and Diao Xie, he would immediately withdraw his troops back.
To be honest, at this time, Sima Rui should be more on par with Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.
Think about it, the Great Han Chess Saint has never taken the usual path, except for the death of people in chess, the most classic is the response to the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms.
These princes proposed to punish Chao wrong, and when the Qing monarch was on the side, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty sent his confidants to the guillotine with his backhand, which directly made these princes have no reason to levy, so that they were really rebelling, which simply showed the emperor's injustice to the fullest.
And Sima Rui is completely able to copy this operation, because he killed Diao Xie and Liu Kui, and recruited generals to crusade against Wang Dun, if Wang Dun was destroyed, it would naturally be pushed to the point that Wang Dao offered treacherous words, so that he could kill the ministers.
If you defeat yourself, you can kneel and say to Wang Dun, "I personally sent the head of the traitor to the general, and now the general can stay at ease in me!" ”
Anyway, killing them at least has a chance to survive.
As the emperor, it can only be said that Sima Rui can't have both a two-skinned face and a shameless face, which makes him very passive in dealing with Wang Dun's rebellion.
Next, Wang Dun and Sima Rui began to show what is called the lower limit of rebellion and pacification.
It can only be said that Huaxia's excellent matching mechanism still feels a little predestined to match them together.
When Wang Dun raised his army, he also knew the truth of combining vertical and horizontal, so he decisively sent someone to contact Gan Zhuo first, and marched with him down the Yangtze River Xia Ningze.
Gan Zhuo verbally agreed, but when Wang Dun boarded the ship and was about to leave, Gan Zhuo did not come, but sent his own army to persuade Wang Dun, or we should not die, or give up.
Wang Dun seriously doubted that this old boy was playing tricks on himself, but he only pretended to be shocked on his face, indicating that he was a great loyal minister:
"Ganzhuo, why did you change your mind again? He was afraid that I would endanger the court.
I just want to get rid of the traitorous ministers, the Qing monarch's side, there are absolutely no bad intentions, you will do it with me, and I will make you a duke after the matter is completed! ”
Sun Shuang went back to report, but Gan Zhuo still hesitated, after all, Wang Dun was deceived and promised not to pay it back too much.
Seeing Gan Zhuo's hesitation, someone around him immediately persuaded: "Let's promise Wang Dun for the time being, if Wang Dun goes well, we will crusade against the traitorous ministers, and if Wang Dun doesn't go well, we will crusade against Wang Dun." ”
Gan Zhuo sighed: "When Chen Min was in turmoil, I first followed, and then tried to fight back, and the people who talked about this matter said that I was afraid of persecution and changed my position, and I often felt ashamed in my heart. If I do this again, what face will I have! ”
I have to say that Wang Zhuo is a little ashamed, this kind of obedience first and then betrayal is also very common in the late Jin Dynasty.
But Wang Zhuo felt ashamed after doing it once, so he wanted to struggle a little.
It's just that this kind of indecision can make him last for a long time, I'm afraid no one knows.
Therefore, Gan Zhuo had the intention of dragging people into the water, and tried to attract as many people as possible to make collective decisions, so he told Shunyang Taishou Wei Gai about it, and Wei Gai firmly refused to follow Wang Dun all the way.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Dun sent Huan Zhen to lobby Sima Cheng, but Sima Cheng said that he would defend his Sima clan's country, decisively imprison Huan Zhen, appoint and dismiss Yu Kui as Changshi, appoint Yu Wang as Sima, commander-in-chief, guardian of the army, and Lingling Taishou Yin Feng, Jianchang Taishou, Changsha Wang Xun, Hengyang Taishou, Huailing Liu Yi, Chungling Ling, and Changsha Yi Xiong, jointly raised troops to recruit Wang Dun.
And spread the book everywhere, listing Wang Dun's crimes, so that all the counties within a state responded to Sima.
Only Xiangdong Taishou Zheng Tang, that is, Wang Dun's brother-in-law, did not obey his orders, and Sima asked Yu Wang to crusade and behead him, so as to show all places.
Sima Cheng also knew very well that he only resisted Wang Dun and attracted Wang Dun's troops, but the real key was actually Gan Zhuo behind Wang Dun, so he sent his lord Bo Deng Qian to Xiangyang to lobby Gan Zhuo.
And Wang Dun was also afraid that Gan Zhuo would change behind him, so he decisively sent his own army Le Daorong to appease Gan Zhuo and let Gan Zhuo go east with him.
Especially in the case of Sima Cheng's resistance, he had to divide his troops to resist, so he needed Gan Zhuo's help even more.
So after Le Daorong came to Gan Zhuo's military camp, he directly persuaded Gan Zhuo:
"The Lord came to Wanji in person, and he used the king of Xiangzhou for himself, and he was not a full-time Liu Kui. And the Wang family has been in power for a long time, and when he sees the division of government, he is said to be derelict in his duties, betraying his kindness and rebellion, and raising troops to Que.
The country is the most generous to the king, and now it is the same, will it not violate the righteousness, be born as a rebel, die as a fool, and always be ashamed of the clan!
For the king's plan, if you pretend to promise your order, and gallop to attack Wuchang, the generals and soldiers will hear it, and they will collapse without a fight, and the great honor can be done. ”
To put it simply, the envoys sent by Wang Dun to appease Gan Zhuo defected as soon as they saw Gan Zhuo.
This kind of envoy, even if it is placed in the entire envoy envoy, is quite explosive.
But for the hesitant Gan Zhuo, there was Sima Cheng's envoy persuasion here, and Wang Dun's envoy defected, and he immediately understood that Wang Dun's raising of the anti-flag was definitely not the desire of the people.
So I finally made up my mind and said, "Crusade against Wang Dun and set things right, this was originally my intention." ”
So he issued a letter counting Wang Dun's rebellious deeds, and led his army to start the conquest.
Sent Sima and Sun Shuangzhi to the imperial court, sent Luo Ying to Guangzhou, and asked Tao Kan to discuss together.
Dai Yuan guarded the west of the Yangtze River, first got Gan Zhuo's letter, played it in the form of a table, and the court cheered long live.
Tao Kan saw Gan Zhuo's letter, and immediately sent Gao Bao to lead the troops north, and it was rumored that Gan Zhuo was coming in Wuchang City, and everyone fled and dispersed.
It's just that although Gan Zhuo decided to rebel against Wang Dun and declared war more openly, his character was not resolute enough, and he was old and suspicious.
Still hesitating at this time, the army stopped at Pigkou, and planned to rescue Sima Cheng who was besieged by Wang Dun's general Wei Yi first.
Although Sima Cheng asked Gan Zhuo to attack Wuchang first, the siege of Changsha was naturally resolved with the fall of Wuchang.
But Gan Zhuo still didn't move, and at the same time, Wang Dun knew that Gan Zhuo was very scared when he raised his troops, so he sent Gan Zhuo's nephew Gan Wei to persuade peace, and Gan Zhuo inexplicably stopped at Pigkou for dozens of days.
At the same time, the Langya Wang clan in the city were arrested by the imperial court, waiting for Sima Rui's whereabouts, Sima Rui had the choice to let Wang Dao go, Sima Rui and sent a messenger to tell Wang Dun to stop the rebellion, but Wang Dun refused to obey the order and detained the messenger.
It can be said that at this time, Wang Dun also knew that he had reached the point where he could retire from the army.
Later, Sima Cheng dispersed his troops, and Gan Zhuo was ready to stab his hometown, if he retreated, he would really become a turtle in an urn.
Therefore, Wang Dun was ruthless, and he hurried decisively, and soon arrived in Jiankang, of course, out of anger in his heart, so Wang Dun wanted to crusade against Liu Kui who was stationed in Jincheng.
But Du Hong, who joined the army, suggested to Wang Dun: "There are many soldiers under Liu Kui who are not afraid of death, and it is not easy to defeat, so it is better to attack Stone City." Zhou Za lacked kindness to people, and the soldiers were unwilling to serve him, and once attacked, he would inevitably be defeated. ”
Zhou Za was greedy for money and stingy by nature, and usually focused on accumulation, and his corporaries, armor and weapons were uneven, so in the face of Wang Dun, he decisively opened the city gate to welcome Wang Dun into the city, allowing Wang Dun to easily clear the last obstacle to attacking Jiankang.
At this time, it is not that Liu Kui is stubbornly resisting, but that he must lead the crowd to rescue him.
Diao Xie, Liu Kui, and Dai Yuan attacked Stone City, and Director Wang calmly sent soldiers to easily defeat them.
Even if the crown prince Sima Shao personally led the soldiers to fight a decisive battle with Wang Dao, he was still defeated and was easily captured by Wang Dao.
Diao Xie and Liu Kui retreated to the Taiji Palace, and Sima Rui took the hands of the two, wept and whimpered, and asked them to flee from Jiankang to avoid trouble.
Diao Xie said that he would be loyal to the death, but was dissuaded by Emperor Yuan. Emperor Yuan allocated soldiers and horses to the two and let them fend for themselves.
Then Liu Kui ran away with his family, and looking back at the moment, he was still somewhat thrilling.
"In other words, Wang Dun won, so did the Langya Wang clan ascend to the throne? Not impressed? Liu Tai listened to Liu Kui's narration and couldn't help thinking in his heart.
But soon, Liu Tai said to Liu Kui, "To be honest, although Mr. Liu, you are a great talent, logically speaking, I should award you a high-ranking official."
But if you come, sir, I will grant you a high position, for fear that the soldiers will not be convinced.
It's better to go to Changyi for me as a messenger to persuade Huan Xuan to surrender to the Han Dynasty, so as not to suffer from the soldiers in Changyi. ”
"Me?!" Liu Kui was a little stunned when he heard Liu Tai's words, he always felt that Liu Tai was going to die by himself!
And Liu Tai said calmly, "Of course, since you want to persuade Huan Xuan, you naturally have to prepare gifts."
I have two hundred and fifty-seven people from the entire clan who are related to Huan Xuan here, and these people are my gifts to Huan Xuan.
If he chooses to be loyal to the Jin court, I respect his choice and promise to let his whole clan follow him on the road and never be alone.
If he chooses to surrender to the Great Han, it will not only save the soldier's life from danger, but also allow his family to continue to exist!
In order to show sincerity, all these people could be sent to Huan Xuan first, adding more than 200 people to him. ”
When Liu Tai said this, he turned his head to Wen Qiao beside him and said: "Paint portraits of all these two hundred people, and inform them that Huan Xuan's choice will determine the fate of their entire clan, don't hide it, tell them the truth!" ”
"Obey!" Wen Qiao heard Liu Tai's words, but he answered.
And Liu Tai continued to say to Liu Kui, "Next, I will bother Mr. Liu to make a hard trip, and on the day of the mission, I will set up a banquet and wait for Mr. Liu to return triumphantly." ”
"Thank you for your trust!" When Liu Kui heard Liu Tai's words, he didn't know whether to feel admiration for Liu Tai's self-confidence, or to feel worried about his next fate.
For Liu Tai, no matter whether Liu Kui succeeds or fails, he will have a big meal in the barracks that day.
By the next day, it was really ready to launch a general attack on Changyi.
As for Huan Xuan's choice, surrender is naturally the best, and if you don't surrender, you will be exterminated.
