Chapter 349 I regard destiny as poison
On April 18, Wang Jun, the governor of Zhongshan County in Jizhou, was reading the imperial edict with a dull look on his face.
"King of Yan? Governor of the six states of You, Ji, Qing, Xu, Yan, and Henan?"
This is an edict sent by Sima Ruizhi, who went south to build Ye and reestablish the imperial court.
He picked up another edict from the table beside him.
It was sent from Luodu last year, and the imperial court issued an edict to promote Wang Jun to the rank of Grand Sima, Assistant Minister, Grand Governor, and supervise the military affairs of Youji...
The two edicts were both issued by the Emperor of Jin Dynasty, but they contradicted each other.
One wants Murong to rule his Jizhou, and the other wants him to rule Murong's Youzhou. The two have claims to each other.
Of the two imperial courts, which one did he listen to?
From an orthodox point of view, it must have followed the Luoyang court. The Han Dynasty abdicated to Wei, and Wei abdicated to Jin. Luoyang was the imperial capital of three dynasties, and the jade seal passed down to the country was absolutely orthodox.
But... the Luoyang court died!
Now the only Jin Dynasty is located in the south of the Yangtze River, but it turns out that the enemy was crowned king, which is really chilling.
"What is the Murong clan from Liaodong? What a fucking fart!"
"I was about to fight to the death with him and regain Youzhou, but the court told me that he is the King of Yan and is under my command?"
Wang Jun was furious and threw the Eastern Jin Dynasty edict to the ground.
Jizhou has experienced the Eight Kings' Rebellion, the Tufa Clan's Rebellion, and the Liu Clan's invasion. It is currently resisting the Murong Clan who is eyeing the north and dominates Youzhou.
It can be said that it has been war-torn and has been beaten to pieces. It can be called a demon's paradise.
The former governor of Jizhou and his clan brother Wang Bin were both killed by the barbarians.
It was he who re-established the banner of the Jin Dynasty in the ruins, but the Jiangnan court, which was controlled by his family, did not even give him a reward. What does it mean? He was abandoned?
Everyone in the family knows that Hu Man will win Jiangbei, so they would rather give the reward to Hu Man than to him?
Wang Jun knew very well that this was to make the five tribes kill each other and lose their strength, so as to pave the way for the Southern Dynasty's future Northern Expedition.
But such an action is too chilling. There are still many people in the north who are resisting.
Some have protected several counties, some have been trapped in isolated cities, and there are many wealthy and aristocratic families in the countryside who have formed strongholds to protect themselves.
They are like stars in the sky, scattered all over the place, but the court in Jiangnan thinks they are all dead?
One of the young generals who delivered the edict in the hall also turned purple. He had already known the content of the edict, and although he obeyed the order and sent it to various places, he did not accept it.
However, he secretly looked to both sides and saw that there were many barbarians in the hall, both civil and military, and he immediately did not dare to speak at all.
These barbarians are all members of the Yuwen clan. They have tattoos and only a patch of hair on the top of their heads, combed forward to the level of their eyebrows.
A man with a ferocious wild boar tattooed on his chest suddenly laughed, revealing his jagged teeth. These teeth were obviously chiselled and deliberately made into such a sharp shape.
"How can Mo Rong become the King of Yan? Can the emperor of Jin Dynasty also reward me with Yu Wen?" The wild boar man said with a smile, but with his image, he looked ferocious and terrifying.
Wang Jun said in a deep voice: "Ba Ba, don't be ridiculous. You, the Yu Wen clan, were severely injured by that bald-haired Yake, and now you haven't even captured half of the state. You still want to be crowned king?"
"That guy in the north is already a member of the Murong family. He has a first-class family status. How can you compare with him?"
Yu Wenba's smile remained unchanged: "You're just kidding, even if you let me be your emperor, I don't want it."
"You know, I really want to give up on this bullshit destiny. It's a pity that God doesn't fulfill my wishes."
Wang Jun frowned, these guys from the Yuwen clan didn't know what they were thinking, and they had no ambitions.
I have a destiny, but I always want to give up. Was it because I was beaten stupidly by the Tufa clan?
When Hu Man first rebelled, the Murong clan was ravaging Youzhou, the Tufa clan was raging in Jizhou, and the Yuwen clan was in Bingzhou.
Everyone is progressing smoothly, but Yu Wenshi has encountered a problem... Bingzhou Liu Kun!
Liu Kun was worshiped as Sikong, a general, and guarded the land of Jinyang. He used his troops like a god, but the Yu Wen clan fought for several years without making any progress, and instead lost troops and generals.
So while continuing the siege, he detached a group of troops and went to Jizhou to develop, but they ran into the Tufa clan.
The two Human tribes fought a bloody battle, and Yu Wen's army was killed and completely annihilated.
Now it's better, but its strength has been greatly reduced, and it's even broken, and it no longer has the intention to compete for hegemony.
They even divided the family property between father and son, each went his own way, and they immediately split up!
One branch was in Bingzhou, occupying Yanmen and Dingxiang areas, and developed quietly.
One group went south to Yuzhou, defected to the Yongxun clan, and became loyal to the puppet Han Liu Yuan.
There is another branch in Jizhou, namely Yuwen Baba, who is the big leader and the father of the other two groups.
He brought the most powerful people to form an alliance with him, Wang Jun, and defected to the Jin Dynasty.
Of course, Wang Jun also took advantage of this to rise, because the Tufa clan only plundered money and looted Jizhou before continuing south to Qingzhou.
In addition, the Murong clan had not yet finished conquering Youzhou, and the 烃狋 was still besieging the imperial capital in Heluo.
As a result, although Jizhou was in ruins, the political power was in vain. Wang Jun relied on the reputation of the Langya Wang family to recruit all the remaining noble families in Jizhou, recruited warriors, gathered the refugees, and raised a large army to dominate Jizhou.
He even led his troops to rescue Luoyang, but was defeated by Liu Yuan's fierce general Shi Le, who almost chased him all the way and destroyed his lair.
At the critical moment, he and the Yuwen clan formed an alliance, married each other's daughters, entered into marriages, and joined forces to defeat Shi Le and save the three counties of Jizhou.
Therefore, Luoyang gave him a reward and promoted him to Grand Sima, governor of Jizhou and Youzhou, hoping that he would continue his efforts and save Luoyang as soon as possible.
Who would have thought that Luoyang would fall before the edict was even circulated?
The morale of the army plummeted, and Liu Yuan of the puppet Han Dynasty sent an envoy to ask him to surrender. He killed the envoy and said that his clan leader had reestablished the court in Jiangnan and the Jin Dynasty was not destroyed. Only then did he stabilize the situation.
As a result, the Murong clan from the north moved south again. He and the Yuwen clan worked together to barely push them back.
It can be said that he was in a place of four wars and was surrounded by crises. At this juncture, the edict from the Jiangnan court came.
"Damn it, when it was difficult for me to protect myself, the imperial court actually granted Murong the title of Prince of Yan. Does this mean he has abandoned me?" Wang Jun was annoyed and felt unspeakably depressed.
Yuwen Baba smiled and said: "If you ask me to tell you, just obey. Surrender to the Murong clan, and we will go with you."
Wang Jun looked at him incomprehensibly: "If I vote for the Murong clan, I still need to be reused. If you vote for him, you will definitely be killed!"
Yuwen Baba said indifferently: "Then let him kill me. Kill me and destroy my army. The Yuwen clan will no longer be a threat in his eyes, and my people can integrate into China and survive.
"
Wang Jun shook his head: "You are really crazy. You say you are not afraid of death. You changed all the young children in your clan to Han customs and Jin customs, and fostered them in the families of various clans under my command. You only left more than ten thousand strong men in our army. It can be said that you have completely given up.
Struggle for hegemony, coward to the extreme,”
"But say you are afraid of death. Your Yuwen army is brave and good at fighting. It is not afraid of death and has helped me defeat powerful enemies several times."
"Now you are even more willing to risk your life to protect your people."
"You have a destiny, why don't you give it a try?"
Wang Jun was really shocked by the various choices given to Yu Wenshi.
At first, he formed an alliance with Hu Man. On the one hand, he wanted to take advantage of the other party's destiny, but on the other hand, he was afraid of being annexed by seeking skin from the tiger.
It can be said that he was very fearful, but in the end, Yu Wenshi made a messy operation.
All the children under the age of twelve were fostered with Jin people, married, and dispersed to various families, changing customs and digging their own foundations.
The Yuwen clan, which had no foundation in the first place and was split into three branches, is now even more so.
Once all the more than 10,000 young and strong men who were pulled out by Yuwen are dead, the barbarian tribe of Yuwen will disappear.
The most outrageous thing is that Yuwen Baba did all this just to prepare everyone of his generation to die in battle!
Let the culture of the Yuwen clan disappear completely.
From then on, the struggle for hegemony among the five barbarians became the struggle for hegemony among the four barbarians, and one force withdrew from the stage of history.
So that those young tribesmen can get rid of the burden of the "Destiny Force", integrate into China, and continue to survive.
This stupid thing is not thinking about how to use destiny to fight for hegemony, but how to get rid of the control of destiny.
"Haha, what does destiny have to do with me?"
"Our tribe is originally a small tribe in the Far North. We hunt and gather in the summer, dig ice and fish in the winter... we are self-sufficient and happy."
"However, God allowed ice to cover thousands of miles, cold winds continued day and night, and poverty and famine lasted for decades, making it impossible for us to survive and forcing us to move south."
"My family is affiliated with the Jin Dynasty. I just want to live a good life, but I am oppressed by your nobles. The officials impose taxes and forced labor."
"God sent a fate to our clan. We encountered many adventures one after another, and our strength skyrocketed. Finally, one day we couldn't bear it any longer, so we killed our officials and raised troops."
"My clan has been forced to this day. If possible, I really just hope that everyone in my clan can live a good life."
"What destiny is, I have seen through it a long time ago. Maybe everything is caused by destiny. Without destiny, we would still be living happily in our hometown."
"You treat me like a treasure, but I am destined to be poison!"
Yuwen Baba does not look at all civilized. He has chiseled teeth and tattoos on his hair and wears animal skin clothing. Compared with other barbarians, he is completely the purest savage and the most primitive tribe.
To be continued...
