Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Upheaval
Outside Yecheng, after discussing with the deputy general, Shi Chao sent the letter to the king of Luoyang Pingyuan. Without receiving a reply, he assembled his army and set off.
No matter how stupid he is, he still knows that this city of Ye will become a Shura field.
Having contact with King Qi is not a good thing after all.
Moreover, since the King of Chengdu also said so about this matter, there is no reason for him to violate it.
Now, the further away from the center of this storm, the better.
After Shi Chao and others left with their troops, an army gradually appeared outside Yecheng.
This army is very different from the Han army. It is the five tribes under Bingzhou.
The so-called five tribes are actually the five tribes of the Xiongnu.
In the early years of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the son of Uzhu Liuruo Danyu, Youao Danri, Wangbi called himself Nan Chanyu and settled in Meiji, Xihe. At that time, Zuoguocheng in Lishi was the palace where the Chanyu moved.
During the Zhongping period, Qiang Qu Chanyu sent his son Yu Fuluo to lead troops to aid the Eastern Han Dynasty and suppress the Yellow Turban Army.
At that time, the Qiangqu Chanyu was killed by his countrymen, so the troops led by General Yu Fulo stayed in the Eastern Han Dynasty and called themselves Chanyu.
Immediately after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Yu Fuluo led his troops to plunder Taiyuan and Hedong, and then stationed themselves in Hanoi.
After Yu Fulo's death, his younger brother Hu Chuquan succeeded to the throne and appointed Yu Fulo's son Liu Bao as the Xian King of Zuo. Liu Bao was Liu Yuan's father.
Later, Cao Cao divided Huchuquan's soldiers into five divisions, appointed Liu Bao as the commander of the left division, and the other division commanders were all named Liu.
During the Taikang period, the old system was changed and captains were set up. Among the Xiongnu tribes, the left group lived in the Zi family in Taiyuan, the right group lived in Qidi, the southern group lived in Puzi, the northern group lived in Xinxing, and the middle group lived in Daling.
Although people surnamed Liu live in five tribes, on a large scale, they all live in the Fenshui and Jianshui areas of Jinyang.
"Father."
Liu Cong was wearing armor at this time. Although he looked lean, he showed nobility.
"Are we really going to enter Yecheng? Didn't my father say that before? The Han people are powerful, and now we need to recharge our batteries. With this attitude, I'm afraid the Han court will regard you and me as a thorn in their side.
If so, we will only die."
"Don't panic, let's go into the city first."
Liu Yuan is tall and tall, with a height of eight feet four inches, a beard more than three feet long, and three red vellus hairs on his heart that are three feet six inches long.
At a glance, one can see the difference between Liu Yuan and ordinary people.
Liu Yuan was fond of learning since he was a child. He became a disciple of Cui You, a party member, and studied "Mao Shi", "Jing Shi Yi" and "Ma Shi Shangshu". He especially loved "The Biography of the Zuo Family in the Spring and Autumn Period" and "Sun Wu's Art of War".
Two books.
And he read "Historical Records", "Hanshu" and other works of other scholars.
Not only that, Liu Yuan was good at archery and had stronger physical strength than ordinary people. He was a scholar as well as a military commander.
"promise!"
Liu Cong saw that his father had no intention of talking to him. Although Liu Cong was anxious, he had to put the matter aside for now.
Compared with him, his father knows more clearly than he does.
From childhood to adulthood, Liu Cong took Liu Yuan as his role model.
"General, before entering the city, we have to talk things over. Otherwise, everyone will be uneasy and they won't be able to get together."
Liu Yuan glanced at the old man who spoke and nodded gently.
"What my uncle said is absolutely true."
The old man in front of him is Liu Xuan, King of Zuoxian. According to his seniority, he is indeed Liu Yuan's great uncle.
Naturally, Liu Yuan also respected Liu Xuan very much.
"Since my uncle said so, I will explain it to you."
Liu Yuan was riding on the horse, holding the reins gently in his hand, and spoke out.
"This time we come, not to fight against the Jin Dynasty, but to save the Jin Dynasty. The destiny lies with the King of Qi, and the current emperor is just a villain who killed his father and his mother. We come here for the great righteousness.
.”
Very ironic.
A group of Huns originally lived by chasing water and grass, but now they want to participate in this turmoil in the Han way.
"Father, it's just that the old King Qi is dead, and the new King Qi is not qualified enough."
If you say that the old King of Qi is destined by destiny, that's okay, but this new King of Qi is definitely not the so-called destiny.
He is too young and has too little qualifications. Who can believe that he is destined to be his destiny?
"Who told you he was the new King of Qi? It was the old King of Qi!"
Old Qi King?
At this time, not only Liu Cong was stunned, but other captains also had doubts on their faces.
"But the old King Qi is dead."
"Who said Old King Qi is dead?"
Liu Yuan snorted coldly.
The old king of Qi faked his death just for the sake of fame, and it also made the emperor of Luoyang unscrupulous.
It was a pity for everyone that the emperor was still rational and did not do anything too extreme, but that was all.
He offended the aristocratic family, offended most of the world, and coupled with the turmoil in Yizhou, everyone responded to the call.
"But everyone in the world thinks that the old King Qi is dead."
"We don't know whether the old King Qi is dead or alive. What we do know is that what we did is a just thing."
Having said that, I don’t know if it has the effect of stabilizing the morale of the troops, but I’m afraid these captains were more shocked.
Having said this, Liu Yuan felt that it was almost done.
"Let's enter the city."
Liu Yuan's prestige among the Huns was very high. Liu Yuan stepped forward on his horse, and everyone followed him.
Yecheng is now an empty city.
This empty city does not mean that there are no people in the city, but that there are no troops in the city.
Shi Chao moved north so quickly that he even withdrew the soldiers guarding Yecheng.
Therefore, Liu Yuan really took a leisurely stroll when he entered Ye.
Entering Ye again, Liu Yuan felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
In fact, it is not easy for him to survive until now.
During the Xianxi period, Liu Yuan lived in Luoyang as a hostage and was treated favorably by Sima Zhao, the powerful official of Cao Wei at that time.
When he was in Bingzhou, Liu Yuan made a good friend Wang Hun.
After the Taishi period, Wang Hun recommended him to Jin Wu Emperor Sima Yan many times.
As a proton, Emperor Wu of Jin made an exception to summon him and talked with him, which was very appreciated.
At that time, Liu Yuan thought this was his chance to enter the Han court and become a Han.
But in fact, this meeting was almost the cause of his death.
Liu Yuan left after meeting Sima Yan.
After he left, there was a dialogue between the king and his ministers in the palace.
First, Wang Hun and Wang Ji recommended him, and then ministers explained their interests.
Those who are not of my race must have a different mentality and almost lose their lives.
Later, the leader of the Tufa Xianbei Tribe, Tufa Shuyi, defeated and beheaded Hu Lie, the governor of Qinzhou, and Yang Xin, the governor of Liangzhou, twice, so the Western Jin Dynasty sent troops to Qin and Liangzhou. Originally, this incident had nothing to do with him, but it turned out that someone
It was proposed to recruit the soldiers of the five Xiongnu tribes, grant him the title of general, and let them march to the west. Then, Qinzhou and Liangzhou in the west would be determined soon.
The result can be imagined. If it weren't for the kind words of Qi Wang Sima You and Wang Hun later, he would have been a corpse by now.
When Liu Yuan entered the city, his first destination was the imperial palace.
That is Cao Huan, the king of Chenliu in the palace.
Yecheng is very big, and the palace city of Yecheng is also very big.
But Liu Yuan walked very quickly, and not long after, he was standing outside the heavily guarded hall.
The surrounding soldiers were all members of the King of Qi. Everyone understood and let Liu Yuan in.
With a creak, the palace door opened wide.
At this time, King Chenliu was sitting in the palace, looking a little absent-minded.
But when I saw someone coming, my absent-mindedness suddenly turned into spirit.
"Who are you?"
Liu Yuan was wearing an official robe, and it was slightly different from the ordinary Jin court official robes, so Cao Huancai was a little confused.
"Your Majesty, Liu Yuan, the Hun, has met His Royal Highness King Chenliu."
Liu Yuan?
Cao Huan was stunned for a moment.
"Are you General Jianwei, Commander-in-Chief of the Five Ministries Liu Yuan?"
"It's down there."
Liu Yuan nodded lightly.
"Since you are in the fifth division of Bingzhou, why did you come to Sili? Come to Wei County?"
Liu Yuan gently knelt down in front of Cao Huan and said, "We will take advantage of this opportunity."
"Taking advantage of the situation?"
Cao Huan was stunned for a moment.
"What is taking advantage of a situation?"
"You are the deposed emperor of Cao Wei. Now that I am in front of the king, I will naturally take advantage of the king's momentum."
"Even if the emperor is deposed, how can he gain momentum?"
"That's wrong."
Liu Yuan smiled softly.
He is younger than Cao Huan in front of him, only ten years younger, but he looks like an old man, while he is still in his prime.
If I didn’t know their ages, I would have thought that they were twenty or thirty years apart!
"What the Jin court captured was the land of Cao Wei. Nowadays, there are many people in Jin who cherish the memory of the Wei Dynasty. Do you think so?"
Cao Huan's face immediately turned livid.
"The so-called previous dynasty is nothing more than a passing moment, and I have no intention of doing so. Furthermore, since the general is a member of the five tribes of Bingzhou, why does he come to participate in the affairs of our Han people?"
"Hahaha!"
Liu Yuan laughed twice and said: "Who said that we are the five tribes of Bingzhou? We are righteous people who help the king to restore his country."
Help me restore my country?
Judging from his current treatment, what he borrowed from him was just a name.
"Are you from King Qi?"
Looking at Cao Huan's piercing eyes, Liu Yuan shook his head gently.
"This general is not from the King of Qi."
"Even if you are not a member of the King of Qi, I would like to ask the general to work with me to expose the King of Qi. The King of Qi is ambitious and daring."
Seeing King Chen Liu's appearance, Liu Yuan smiled and shook his head.
"I, the general, came here to see the king, just to communicate with the king. As for what the king does, that is the king's business, but the king's affairs must be considered carefully. Within the palace wall, the king's family and family, I
The Huns also don’t know how to show mercy to women.”
Having said this, Liu Yuan stood up.
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."
It took less than a quarter of an hour for Liu Yuan to enter and then for Liu Yuan to leave, but in the heart of Chenliu King Cao Huan, it felt very long.
It wasn't until the palace door closed again that Cao Huan came back to his senses.
But this time when he came back to his senses, he faced even deeper despair.
He just wants to live a normal life?
Is it that difficult?
....
Outside the palace, Liu Xuan coughed twice, stepped forward and asked, "What did King Chenliu say?"
Liu Yuan shook his head gently.
"This King Chenliu is too timid, or perhaps too smart. It's a bit difficult to make him obedient."
"Why did my father detain King Chenliu?"
Now, it was Liu Cong's turn to be confused.
"King Chenliu is the deposed emperor of Cao Wei. If he raises an army in his name, Luoyang will be furious. At that time, the emperor will definitely come with a large army to quell the rebellion."
Now, Liu Cong was even more confused. Wasn't his father very low-key?
Why do you still want to be high-profile now?
"If the imperial court comes with a large army, will we have any chance?"
"I'm just here to intimidate you. Someone will naturally stop you. Once I'm done and I'm done, I'll just go back to Bingzhou."
It was very simple to say, but Liu Cong felt that things were not that simple.
"Issue payment documents and recruit troops."
This Wei Commandery still needs someone to guard it, and this scapegoat is a newly recruited soldier.
As for whether to recruit or not...
This is the time to use the name Cao Huan.
Yecheng is in Wei County, and Yedu is the old capital of Cao Wei. Many of Cao Wei's former officials are in Wei County.
It is not a problem to raise troops in Wei County in the name of Cao Wei and recruit some scapegoats.
"As for me, I have already arrived, so I swept through Wei County and brought all Wei County's money, grain, grass, and beauties to Bingzhou."
Now that you're here, it's hard to leave empty-handed, right?
"promise!"
Otherwise, no one may feel anything at all.
Liu Yuan's last words made everyone excited and instantly excited.
"Then I will retire, general."
After receiving Liu Yuan's words, everyone immediately left the Yecheng palace as if they had received an imperial edict.
after.
There was complete chaos in Yecheng.
Not only Yecheng, but also Guangping County and Yangping County were also in chaos.
In troubled times, there is more than one person who wants to risk his life and make a fortune.
.....
In the city of Ye.
Wang Mi and more than a dozen field officials had just rested in Yecheng for a few days. Before the field work could get started, Yecheng became turbulent.
In such a situation, Wang Mi was well-informed and immediately issued the order.
"Everyone, I don't know what happened in Yecheng. Many Huns came in. They robbed and killed everyone they saw. If we still stay in the city, I'm afraid there will be no good end."
As soon as everyone gathered together, they immediately hugged each other into a ball, holding knives and swords, and rushed out like this.
The so-called people who are stunned are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of their lives.
These Huns soldiers were all bullying and afraid of the strong, and when they saw Wang Mi's fierce look, they all took a detour.
Everyone had no dangers along the way and finally got out of Yecheng.
After arriving outside Yecheng and asking other people who had fled, Wang Mi found out what had happened.
"Why did the Huns come to Yecheng and dare to be so unscrupulous? The world seems to be in chaos."
Although Wang Mi was not of high birth, the dozen or so children of aristocratic families under him did not dare to be presumptuous.
The reason is that Wang Mi is really too vicious.
If Wang Mi is provoked, he will suffer a huge loss if he dies.
"Captain, what should we do now?"
Wang Mi rolled his eyes and said: "It is no longer practical to continue to farm in Wei County. You all should go back to Luoyang first and report this matter to the Ming Lord."
"What about the captain?"
Everyone reacted one after another.
"My hometown is in Donglai, and many people don't even have food to eat now. Now that I'm a noble person, I naturally have to take them with me. You can go back first."
