Liangshan.

Compared with the Jin Palace in Luoyang, the newly built palace city is like the difference between a palace and a thatched house.

Except for a slightly crooked main hall, other places are even adobe houses.

As the sun sets, the golden halo casts its light over the snow-covered palace, blending in with the surrounding scenery.

Speaking of a palace, I am afraid that the configuration of Luoyang Sikong Mansion is ten times better than his.

The leaders of the Qiang, Di and Hu people in Liangshan even only had large tents, but no main hall.

The emperor of the Hu people, Qi Wannian, was in this simple main hall at this time.

Sitting on the dragon chair at Jindu, in front of Qi Wannian, in addition to the leaders of several major tribes, there was also a strong armored general standing in the palace.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Qi Wannian has black shiny vertical hair, slanting handsome eyebrows, slender and sharp black eyes, thin and lightly pursed lips, and sharp outlines. He is slender, tall and tall.

The figure is not rugged, just like an eagle in the dark night. He is cold, aloof and solemn, yet powerful. He exudes a strength that arrogantly dominates the world.

Especially his body, which is as strong as a tiger and a bear, makes people feel fear and inferiority rising from the bottom of their hearts when they see him.

"Emperor, according to Luoyang, Queen Jia Nanfeng has been imprisoned by the prince in Jinyong City of Ye City, and the emperor of Jin Dynasty has died, and now a new emperor has been replaced."

It was His Highness's armored general who spoke.

Hao Duyuan.

However, he defeated the ruthless man Ouyang Jian, the governor of Yongzhou and the governor of Feng Yi.

"I didn't expect that the Han people had already changed their emperor."

Qi Wannian's eyes suddenly twinkled.

After successfully resisting the Han people, Qi Wannian's self-confidence became stronger and stronger. As his self-confidence increased, so did his ambition.

This Han man is so vulnerable

Why does he have to settle in a few counties?

Yongzhou and Qinzhou must be taken over

Next, there are Jizhou, Sili, and Luoyang

"Everyone."

Qi Wannian waved his hand.

"The Han people have a new emperor, and the situation in the court is definitely unstable. I heard that all the governors of Yongzhou in Qinzhou have returned to Luoyang to report on their duties. The remaining people don't have to worry about it. It's better to take this opportunity to take over the entire Yongzhou and Qinzhou.

Come down and carve a piece of land for me, the Qiangdi grassland people, so that future generations of my disciples will not have to be slaves of the Han people."

Hao Duyuan's eyes also flickered.

"The Han people are powerful after all, if it were us"

Although they won several battles, the strength of the Han people had long been rooted in his blood.

If he had not been forced to do so, he would not have become an enemy of the Han people.

Chief Malanqiang and Chief Lu Shuihu both nodded.

But the corners of Qi Wannian's mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes were extremely cold.

"Everyone, do you think that if we don't take action against the Han people, the Han people will not deal with us?"

Qi Wannian stood up, and his originally burly body was as oppressive as a hill.

His eyes scanned everyone in the hall.

"Zhou Chu, Jie Xie, and Liang Wang Sima Tong, they will not forget us."

Upon being reminded by Qi Wannian, everyone present bowed their heads and fell silent.

There is a lot of Han blood on their hands.

On this road, there is no turning back.

Everything started in May of the fourth year of Yuankang.

In May of the fourth year of Yuankang, a large-scale rebellion in the history of the Western Jin Dynasty began.

The first protagonist of the story is called Hao San, and Hao San is an out-and-out Huns.

The reason for the rebellion was the same as all the rebellions in the previous dynasties, which was to make a living.

That means I can't live anymore.

The Han people's policy towards the Qiang and Di has always been repressive.

and

Don't treat them as human beings.

This kind of discrimination is much more severe than that of a high-ranking student looking down on someone with a humble family name.

The former does not treat you as a human being, and the latter does not treat you as a character.

At that time, Hao San raised an army from Guyuan to rebel against the Jin Dynasty. He led his troops to attack Shangdang, killed the local officials, and then began to strengthen the momentum of his uprising troops.

Originally, Hao San would be another uprising leader who left a great name in history.

But he had no intention of becoming Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.

After all, the latter's end was not very good.

Judging from subsequent history, what he did was more like Song Jiang.

It's a pity that he doesn't have Song Jiang's life.

The rebellion began in May, and by August, Hao San was planning to surrender to the court.

It may be because Hao San felt that the rebellion had little future. After all, although the Western Jin Dynasty at that time was not as powerful as before, it was not in decline.

Of course, it is also possible that Hao San did not want to make the rebellion bigger, so after careful consideration, Hao San decided to lead his troops to surrender to the nearby Captain Feng Yi.

It's a pity that Captain Feng Yi doesn't like Hao San and this rabble.

Don't even treat him as a human being.

In particular, he also killed the chief official of Shangdang County.

Therefore, after Hao San surrendered, Captain Feng Yi decisively chose to kill him to avoid future troubles.

In his opinion, he would rather kill by mistake than accept the surrender of the rebel troops. This is like believing that there are ghosts in the world rather than believing a man's lies, because no one can be sure that these rebel troops will not

Will rebel again.

In this way, Hao Sanzai defected happily, but Captain Feng Yi killed them mercilessly.

At least Song Jiang was granted an official position, but Hao San lost his life.

History is like this, full of drama and uncertainty.

but

Although Hao San died, the tide of uprising did not end.

In the summer of the sixth year of Yuankang, a larger-scale uprising was staged under the leadership of the second protagonist, Hao Duyuan.

It was also the armored general in the palace at this time.

As Hao San's younger brother, Hao Duyuan's ability in rebellion can simply be described as being better than his master. He and his brother are fundamentally different.

If Hao San rebelled just to make ends meet, then Hao Duyuan rebelled purely for the sake of rebellion.

At that time, after Hao Duyuan heard that his brother Hao San had been killed, he united with the Malanqiang, Lu Shuihu and other ethnic minorities in Feng Yi County and Beidi County to start a rebellion.

Lu Shuihu is a minority with a multi-ethnic custom. They have a face that looks like both Asians and Europeans. They have a long history, which can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty, and they have also been in the Central Plains Dynasty.

In their eyes, they played the role of mercenaries and thugs. Although strange characters like Zhi Yuando emerged during the Three Kingdoms period, the overall strength of this ethnic minority cannot be underestimated.

Lu Shuihu had always been an important rebel force active in the northwest during the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, and this minority rebel force lasted until the Northern and Southern Dynasties before it completely ceased.

Malanqiang is a Qiang tribe living near the Malian River, and is also a relatively powerful Qiang tribe in the northwest region.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, they had quarrels with the Central Plains Dynasty. By the time of the Western Jin Dynasty, due to the continuous shrinkage of their territory, the conflict between the Malanqiang and the Han people had reached the point where it had to break out.

Of course, the Han people cannot only bear the blame for the encroachment of their territory, because in the northwest region, there are many Hu people who have also taken advantage of them.

For example, the Xiongnu and Xianbei.

Compared with the brutal work style of the Xiongnu and Xianbei, Lu Shuihu and Malanqiang, two semi-farming and semi-nomadic ethnic minorities, really did not dare to have too serious a relationship with the Central Plains dynasty, so they could only act as walk-ons.

character of.

Hao Duyuan united the Hu tribes in the northwest to rebel. First of all, he wanted to avenge his brother. Secondly, he really wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the Western Jin Dynasty to gain some benefits. But if he only mobilized the Huns troops,

, and it won’t have much effect, so the possibility of success will be greater if you win over other forces.

After all, there is strength in numbers.

However, although Hao Duyuan had a good idea, the two ethnic minorities, Lu Shuihu and Malanqiang, also rebelled depending on the situation, and they did not really want to break with the Central Plains Dynasty.

But the problem now is that if they don't show off, the officials of the Jin Dynasty will still not give them a good look. If they show off, they will definitely attract crazy suppression.

This is a very tangled question.

At that time, the leaders of Malanqiang and Lu Shuihu gritted their teeth and stamped their feet, and made an immediate decision.

For the sake of the future of Malanqiang and Lu Shuihu, the mother-in-law rebels

Of course, in terms of rebellion, these two brothers are definitely not the ones to take the lead. They decided to rebel after seeing the Huns and Di people rebelling.

These two Hu tribes want to restore the glory of their ancestors, but they don't want to obey the original dynasty. They don't want to be unable to gain advantage after the rebellion, and they don't want to put in more effort during the rebellion.

Anyway, the two of them are the typical ones who don't take advantage enough, but also go to the trouble of their noses.

At that time, Hao Duyuan united with the tribesmen of Malanqiang and Lu Shuihu and began to attack the North. Taking advantage of their large numbers and propaganda of hatred between the Hu and Han tribes, Hao Duyuan killed the governor of the North, Zhang Sun, and then invaded.

Feng Yi.

Hao Duyuan's purpose in attacking Feng Yi was simple, because his brother was killed by the local captain, and he had to capture this city to avenge his brother, both emotionally and rationally.

Of course, this is only one reason.

There is another reason: the prefect stationed by Feng Yi at that time was named Ouyang Jian.

It was Ouyang Jian who was slapped in the face by Wang Sheng in Luoyang.

The reason why classmate Ouyang Jian became Hao Duyuan's attack on Feng Yijun was because Ouyang Jian was an outstanding person.

As good as he is, he doesn't care about anything.

Ouyang Jian is a typical person who doesn't want to help him when his oil bottle falls.

Although he had an unusual background, his uncle was Shi Chong who won the fight with Wang Kai for wealth, but the officialdom of the Western Jin Dynasty had long since disappointed him.

He was disheartened about his official career. He wanted to take care of many things, but felt that he could not change them, so he simply adopted a dawdling attitude towards it.

The ethnic minority troops led by Hao Duyuan rushed to Feng Yi City in a mighty manner. Ouyang Jian symbolically organized the local defenders to resist for a while, and then were defeated.

After that, he went back to Luoyang to hang out.

It is a pleasure to talk and compose poems.

After Ouyang Jian failed, the imperial court sent another general to conquer Hao Duyuan's troops.

This person is called Jie Xie, and he is quite a decent person.

At that time, the imperial court heard that the Xiongnu Hao Duyuan united with the Hu tribes in the northwest to rebel, so they decided to send General Zhao Wang Sima Lun, the general who conquered the west, to quell the reconciliation faction and to quell the rebellion together.

King Sima Lun of Zhao, wherever he went, he was unlucky.

This time is no exception.

During the battle against Hao Duyuan, Sima Lun's confidant Sun Xiu had been reconciling the faction to compete for military command, and often sent small reports to each other on sparing each other.

The imperial court was naturally aware of Jie Xie's character, so it immediately decided to recall Sima Lun and his troops, leaving Jie Xie with full authority to fight against Hao Duyuan's rebellion.

result

In August of the sixth year of Yuankang, the Jie Clan troops were defeated by Hao Duyuan.

After Hao Duyuan defeated the troops of Jiexie, the uprising troops were greatly encouraged. The Di uprising troops in the Qinyong area and other Qiang troops also responded and joined Hao Duyuan's uprising troops.

Although there are more people, they all work in separate camps and cannot fight together as a team.

Hao Duyuan realized that their troops needed a leader at this time.

But looking at Hao Duyuan's ethnic minority troops at that time, most of the leaders joined in to join in the fun and were simply embarrassed to take on the big task. But now what their troops need most is a leader with absolute strength, and Hao Duyuan turned to

After looking around, I found that only one person met this condition.

Qi Wannian.

He is also the leader of the Di tribe in Beidi County. Not only is his tribe strong, but he is also very decisive and vicious.

In this way, Hao Duyuan united the Hu tribes to serve Qi Wannian as emperor and led troops to attack Jingyang.

Facing Qi Wannian's troops who had proclaimed themselves emperor, the Western Jin Dynasty sent Liang Wang Sima Xu and Anxi General Xia Houjun to conquer Qi Wannian.

Xia Houjun is the grandson of Xia Houyuan of the Wei state. He is related by marriage to Sima Liang, the king of Runan, and is a typical noble relative of the imperial court.

In addition to Xia Houjun's appointment, the imperial court also appointed Yushi Zhongcheng Zhou Chu as General Jianwei and Lu Bo as General Zhenwei to accompany the army in the expedition.

Lu Bo was a close confidant of Sima Xu, so Sima Xu was naturally happy to send him for this expedition, but the imperial court's decision to send Zhou Chu was Sima Xu's idea behind his back.

One is his crony, and the other is his political enemy.

Zhou Chu is the son of Zhou Fang, the prefect of Poyang in Wu State. When he was young, he was a typical young man with social problems. He often made trouble in the village, which made the people in the village hate him deeply. At that time, the people in the village treated the tigers in Nanshan and the dragons in Changqiao.

Together with the surrounding areas, they become the three evils.

Later, when Zhou Chu learned about this incident, he felt that what he had done before was too hateful, so he decided to change his past.

He first went up to Nanshan Mountain and shot the tiger to death, and then went to fight with the evil dragon under the Long Bridge for three days and three nights, finally pacifying the two evil beasts that made the people afraid.

This story later gradually spread and became a familiar way to eliminate the three evils in Zhou Chu.

Zhou Chu in the history books not only dared to go up the mountains to fight tigers and go into the sea to catch dragons, but he also dared to challenge the evil forces.

When Zhou Chu was the censor Zhongcheng, he once impeached Liang Wang Sima Shu for his illegal behavior.

Perhaps it was precisely because of Zhou Chu's upright style of not fearing the powerful that he was later tricked by Sima Xu.

When Chen Huai, the Zhongshu Ling at that time, saw that the imperial court sent Liang Wang Sima Xu and Xia Houjun as army commanders to conquer Qi Wannian, he actively spoke to the imperial court and stated the dangers of sending Xiahou Jun to lead the army.

Although Chen Huai and Xia Houjun have no hatred, he understands one thing.

If a person like Xia Houjun, who has the status of a noble relative, leads the army, he will not get much fame if he wins, and he does not have to worry about beheading if he fails. Let such a person lead the army, and it will be a high fever without causing trouble.

Fragrant.

Sure enough, after Liang Wang Sima Xu and Xia Houjun led their troops, they immediately arranged a secret alliance with Zhou Chu.

In the first month of the seventh year of Yuankang, Qi Wannian led 70,000 troops to garrison Liangshan, forming a confrontation with the imperial troops of Sima Xu and Xia Houjun.

Sima Xu and Xia Houjun also knew Zhou Chu's reputation when he was young, so they only gave him 5,000 soldiers to challenge Qi Wannian's 70,000 troops.

Five thousand people versus seventy thousand people

Unless Zhou Chu is an immortal, there is no way he can defeat Qi Wannian's army.

After Zhou Chu heard the news, he quickly ran to Sima Xu and Xia Houjun's camp to complain.

Sima Xu and Xia Houjun were wearing the same pair of trousers, and Zhou Chu had embarrassed Sima Xu before, so after seeing Zhou Chu coming to complain, Sima Xu and Xia Houjun decisively rejected all Zhou Chu's requests, and

They also forced Zhou Chu to fight.

Obviously, Sima Xu and Xia Houjun wanted to take revenge on themselves.

Although Zhou Chu was disappointed with the commander of this army, he still went out to challenge Qi Wannian's army.

At that time, Zhou Chu, Lu Bo, Jie Xie and others were in a stalemate with Qi Wannian's troops at Liumo. Before Zhou Chu's troops had time to eat, Sima Wei couldn't wait to urge Zhou Chu to fight. Zhou Chu had no choice but to bring

Five thousand soldiers went out to fight Qi Wannian's army.

As a result, this five-thousand-man army fought from morning to night. All the arrows they carried were shot, and no reinforcements came from Sima Xu, so the sergeant advised Zhou Chu to withdraw his troops to protect himself.

But Zhou Chu refused to retreat. In his opinion, retreating or fighting would mean death.

After retreating, Sima Xu will definitely punish himself. When the time comes, death will not be safe. It would be better to die on the battlefield and be shrouded in horse leather.

In this way, Zhou Zhu, a famous minister in the area, died in battle in June of the seventh year of Yuankang at the age of sixty-one.

This is also the reason why so many talented people have retired to seclusion since the Western Jin Dynasty.

The political atmosphere in the Western Jin Dynasty was really not good.

Factions, high-ranking and poor families, kings, even princes and queens

The reason why the Western Jin Dynasty could not deal with Qi Wannian was mostly due to its own reasons.

Zhou Chu was defeated in the battlefield, and Sima Xu avenged his personal revenge. Although the court knew that Sima Xu had deliberately killed Zhou Chu, it still had no nerve to punish him due to his royal status.

In Sima Xu's view, Zhou Chu was more hateful than Qi Wannian.

Because Zhou Chu had offended him, but Qi Wannian had not, this was the reason why Sima Xu wanted to kill Zhou Chu at all costs.

If the country has people who think like this, why worry about dying?

After Sima Xu killed Zhou Chu, he had been stationing troops in the Guanzhong area, echoing the Zhao Wang Sima Lun who was also in the Guanzhong area. In their view, as long as they could stay on the Guanzhong front line for one more day, the imperial court would have to allocate one more day of military pay.

, as long as the energy consumption can be afforded, Qi Wannian's army will inevitably collapse without a fight.

However, these royal nobles who have never been the masters of their own country really don't know the difficulties of being the masters of their own country. They are all like the uncle, standing in the pass, and they don't know what they are doing all day long. Anyway, they just don't attack the rebels.

decisive battle.

From the perspective of the two royal family members, Sima Lun and Sima Xu, there was absolutely no need for them to worry about this. The imperial court would naturally send people to help them sort out this mess.

Sure enough, Zhongshu ordered two worried ministers, Chen Huai and Sikong Zhanghua, to report to the emperor, hoping that the imperial court would send more talented people to attack Qi Wannian's troops.

At the same time, King Sima Lun of Zhao and Sima Tong, King of Liang, were recalled to Luoyang.

result

The matter of Qi Wannian has not yet been dealt with, the queen was replaced by the prince, and Luoyang changed the world. Of course, the matter of Qi Wannian was put on hold.

According to the subsequent historical development.

Meng Guan will be the one to solve Qi Wannian.

Of course, the butterfly flapped its wings once.

History will change a lot.

For example, Qi Wannian now has great ambitions

As for the new emperor of Luoyang, all his eyes were on Sima Jiong, the King of Qi.
